A Surrender to Silence

The Lord is good to those who depend on him,

to those who search for him.

So it is good to wait quietly…

Let them sit alone in silence

— Lamentations 3: 25-26 & 28

Too many days in a wordless maze—

a poetic waning, 

an expressive pause,

a desert age,

a creative fog,

a lapse of meaning,

a shut-in wall,

or, perhaps, a rest,

a refreshing and long

drink at the necessary well 

of reflective self-silence.
