…..pause
grow silent
hear the whispers
wisdom fluttering
feather-like and alert
ready to spring a surprise
no – not the words
the silence
around, between, within them.
Look beyond
the external conversation
words and non-verbal signals
or the internal dialogue
the one battling in the head
can you see
the interior conversation?
the one happening
at the core of our being
the flickering of hope
sharp, bright, illuminating
the divine abyss?
Conversation is more than words
mind the silence around them
not vacuous spaces to be filled
but springboard for
opening hearts and minds
to receive the whisper.
What is to be said and heard
may need no words
a listening presence will
break open
possibilities beyond words…
