9/21/11

there are whispers on the lips of the universe
saying... sit still
embracing patience and calm
they are the arms that wrap around me
when the vastness of the ocean brings spiritual comfort
the worst of me does not quiet them
does not frighten them away with too many thoughts, emotions, words...
always with too many words
there are songs being sung just under audible tones
vibrations traveling along pathways to ears opening
straining to listen
to make out the meaning of intersecting roads
to make out what is elusive in the passing of time
there are hopes that go unspoken
they linger in the doorways of penetrating glances
the longing within the touch of a hand
that quickly pulls away
reminding me of the cyclical nature of things
as i await the pendulum to swing me back to start
