After Long Uninterrupted Silence

After Long Uninterrupted Silence

A Poem by James Takeo Panton

 

After long uninterrupted silence

Do my thoughts within now dwell

And all the clandestine secrets

Are tales I shall not tell

I become insightful and insideful

Beneath a furrowed brow
My thoughts, not to tomorrow
My thoughts are with me now

The plans, the goals, the schemes I’ve made

Deep and dark do they now run

Of all the things I’ve said and been

Of all the things I’ve done
And yet tomorrow awaits me
And with it, comes a dawn

It gives me strength of character

It gives me strength to carry on

This monastic life that I lead

Of habit and solitude
My joys will be forthcoming
And my faith will be renewed

That all the labours I indulge

And these secrets I possess
Pale now the worried doubts
That soon I will address

The simplicity that has become

All the things I do each day
Shall bring me ever closer
To newer means and ways
Of becoming what I strive for

And the dreams my heart desires

The love that awaits so far from me

The hopes that burn like fires

Shall only be a passing stage
Within this life I lead

To gain all I wish and want for

And all I ever need
