I LISTENED IN THE SILENCE........

I LISTENED IN THE SILENCE........

A Poem by Bill Grimke-Drayton

As I listened to the silence,
I heard the sound of breath taken out
By a sudden revelation of exquisite beauty,
Fashioned from worlds beyond my knowing,
And in the music of the spheres came
An outpouring of love over me, washing
Out the sadness that had lingered for
Too many years within my body
And poisoned it with venomous words
To spite and shame me for my weakness,
But now I listened in hope, seeing where
I was - in the garden in the cool of the day,
And knowing I was formed from the dust
Of the earth and God had breathed
His spirit into my flesh, so I could stand
Firm against all that would crush me.
I listened in the silence and met Him there.
