This is a new poem that came to me yesterday morning, checking my email, seeing who’s email that was once there a lot wasn’t there any more. A pity. So this one’s for you.
In Silence
I met you through songs
In a bar full of happy noise.
You got up and sang
And forgot the words
And hearing you
So did my heart.
I heard your silent music
Stranger than the sounds
We played together at night,
Rehearsing our short chorus
To the tune I thought you liked.
We sang together and talked about
The Book of Love and long ago
And touched on God above
And if the Bible told us so.
We sang through our songs.
You left me in silence.
