Silence

They wanted a place to talk
But discovered silence
They wanted a place to talk
But discovered that talk hurt
They wanted a place to talk
But discovered they couldn’t handle the talk

The talk raised pain too intense that it drove them to silence
The talk made them question themselves in to silence
The talk was lost in the darkness of silence

They genuinely wanted to talk
friends at the same church
but in very different places in their own spiritual journey’s

They wanted a safe place to talk
A safe place to express hopes and dreams
A safe place to talk about faith and church

The talk raised fears too big to share
The talk found anger too deep to express
The talk was lost in the darkness of doubt

They wanted a place to talk
But discovered silence

Isn't that wierd? The ONE place you should be able to talk, free and clear...no worries because love covers a multitude of sins...is the most silent place on earth. Not sure if that was a poem...but I read it as such, and really enjoyed it.

Thanks.

If the silence overwhelms us then maybe WE SHOULD SHOUT EVE LOUDER or perhaps be a representative of that still small voice.
