Silently Missing

Sitting on the stairway to my house
Watching the garden; silent as a mouse
The air is still; the waterfall flowing
Silently I sit; silently, I'm missing...

Sitting on the white swing; just swinging
Watching the green trees; swaying like a swing
The wind, it blows; the fountain is flowing
Silently I sit; silently, I'm missing...

Sitting on the white bench; just thinking
Watching the blue birds; voices made to sing
The rain, it pours; my red eyes are flowing
Silently I sit; oh it's you, I'm missing

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
