Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Silenceful

silence is full 
of expectancy and hope
of morn and night
of light and dark
of song and tears
of life and death

sometimes
my silence is as full
as a bottomless bath
in the arms of my lover
his heartbeat to mine
soothingly reassuring

Caren Krutsinger October 16, 2018 at 10:47 AM I try to bring silence into children's worlds, but sometimes other adults cannot stand the silence which I do not understand as I crave it. Line Gauthier October 16, 2018 at 11:16 AM Funny indeed, many people are afraid of both solitude and silence. Thanks for your visit and comment, Caren. Keep trying.

Timothy Mcguire October 16, 2018 at 2:58 AM As the song says " Silence is Golden" I like this poem. :) Line Gauthier October 16, 2018 at 5:27 AM And so true. Thanks for your visit and comment, Timothy.

Gershon Wolf October 15, 2018 at 2:55 PM Echoing D.M's comment, it is in the deepest silence that one can truly listen and hear. Well conceived and well penned, Line! :) gw Line Gauthier October 15, 2018 at 4:08 PM My appreciation for silence has so grown immensely in the last year. Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Gershon.

DM Babbit October 15, 2018 at 11:51 AM Nice, only in the silence can you hear it, the beat of yours and every heart. Line Gauthier October 15, 2018 at 12:09 PM So true, DM. Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment.
