My Name is Silence

Rosie spoke of Silence in her journal so I thought I would share a poem I wrote several years ago.
 
My Name is Silence
 
THE AIR SO STILL, THE MORNING SMELLS FRESH AND THE SILENCE SPEAKS TO ME
“LISTEN AND HEAR ME AS I TELL YOU OF THE MANY IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE
DO NOT BE AFRAID OF ME, FOR I AM SOFT AND GENTLE LIKE
THE WIND IN THE BREEZE; LIKE THE MOTHER TO HER CUB
STOP AND LISTEN TO ME
CARESS THE QUIET AND LET ME SPEAK
CARESS THE GENTLENESS OF MY TOUCH: SOFT, SOOTHING AND REAL
COME TO ME
DO NOT BE AFRAID
DO NOT RUN AND LIVE IN STRIFE
DO NOT RESIST ALL THAT YOU ARE
STOP AND LISTEN TO ME.”
 
YOU SPEAK SO LOUD YOU CANNOT HEAR WHAT I SAY
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND FEEL ME, ALLOW ME TO ENTER INTO YOU
I AM YOUR FRIEND, YOUR PARTNER, YOUR BEING; DO NOT BE AFRAID!  COME TO ME, TALK TO ME, SPEAK TO ME AND LET ME COMFORT AND EMBRACE YOU.
LET ME WIPE AWAY YOUR TEARS WHEN YOU ARE SAD
SHARE WITH YOU WHEN YOU ARE GLAD
TAKE THE TIME TO COME TO ME
SIT WITH ME
BE WITH ME
FOR IN ME YOU WILL FILL UP THE EMPTY SPACES
YOU WILL GRASP JOY
YOU WILL FILL YOURSELF UP
WITH GRATITUDE
MY NAME IS SILENCE
COME BE MY FRIEND
COME BE WITH ME !
