Listen To My Silence

Written By Sal Godoij

(A Poem by Sal Godoij.)

 

Listen, my love, listen not with your ears

But with your heart.

Listen to my silence.

Silence is the fountain where God drinks.

Instead

Words are toys the Devil plays with

I know words are the bars of my prison

But I don’t want to be free; I want to be yours.

And thus, I prefer to address you

With the same quietude

The morning dew addresses the lilies

When I look into your eyes

When I embrace you.

No. My lips are not whispering words

My tears are

Oh, my love, my dove

Place your heart in my chest and listen to the susurrus

Of my lonely nights

How I miss you in those moments

Of solitude that bleeds me

Bleeds me like sunset bleeds the clouds

Some silences are set apart for consecration

Like the serenity of the flowers when they bloom

The gentle stream flowing down from the mountain

Doesn’t carry pebbles

Just clear, pure, transparent water

Likewise, my love for you carries no words

Just my clear, serene, transparent silence.
