Appreciate silence as it lingers
long after we’ve traded promises
Giving meaning to empty words
as was our intention
Spinning the continual absence of noise
into ribbons of prayer
Each a stitch in a blanket
that wraps us in protection
Each a note in a song
that soothes our weary soul
It is here where we accept the gift
that being vulnerable brings
Being open to the challenge
Committing to our part
in this exploration of
a life we will create
together

Lovely piece. I think I get what you’re talking about, that comfortable silence between two people who love each other where words aren’t needed because the silence itself says all that needs to be said.

This poem is filled with little gems, but my favorite would have to be the line, “Spinning the continual absence of noise / into ribbons of prayer.” Great job with this, I enjoyed reading every word. 🙂
