Silent Discovery, Love's Mighty Voice

Silent Discovery, Love's Mighty Voice Once there was a sad soul, thought silence was gold prayed he, need no more than me, myself and I Silence is sweet, honey sweeter he was told He mused, baking dead echoes into life's pie Underground he lived, so far from noisy sound dreamed he, magical new world where quiet reigned In his hush and with deep hush he could be found lowest of whispers, broke his heart as it stained Then it happened, Love's new song, voiced its warm tune Sad soul, discovered joy's mighty noisy splash Found he, sunlit world dancing in early June Cried he, thinking silence always gold was rash Once there was a sad soul, thought silence was gold Silence is sweet, Love sweeter, now he was told Robert J.

Thank you my good and kindhearted friend. What is Life without the blessing of Love's joy and blessed gifts? But an empty shell, awaiting Time's hands crafting unending erosion...

Thank you much Chuck. I found my muse this morn, begged her to give me a hand and not a backhand mind you. She being of fair cheer and a kind heart this morn corrected me when I went astray.. Results were satisfactory enough that I posted right this piece away.
