Sometimes

Sometimes things change
and you don't know it
Sometimes things are hard
in ways you are aware of
but there is nothing to do
just go on

And sometimes
things are wonderful
brilliant in totally
unforeseen ways
Heart-stopping
life-filling
joy-creating
effervescent
dimensions of life
you had hoped for
but never had assurance
you could have

Sometimes you are one
with the Universe
One with love
One with joy
Wanting to give it all
to everyone to share
Yet standing mute
because it is beyond
words

How can you say
I love you
to everyone and know
they understand?
How can you even whisper it
to yourself
and hear it deep within
In that very silence

It's all right
rest assured
it gets shared
without our
even knowing it

Even the silence speaks

Grappling with the love inside, that yearns not only to be expressed, but heard and understood, while all the while grappling with highs and lows and outcomes and decisions--and then finding a fine provisional reassurance--is quite a journey; and you've not only made it but revealed it, to great reader satisfaction. LL, you and this are Winners!

What a beautiful piece...thank you. Thank for singing to the Mystery of change, the shifts of Life, hard things, heart stopping things/places, hopes, the melting and the melding, and for
How can you say
I love you
to everyone and know
they understand?
How can you even whisper it
to yourself
and hear it deep within
In that very silence

and for the language/voice of...silence..

it was as though you were speaking from somewhere within me . . . your words became my words . . .

a true poem in its crafting and its import - a universality poets share in a yearning to 'tell it' . . .

"Even the silence speaks " - it is indeed the silence in between the words on my screen which measure the dimensions of your/ his/ her/ my presence . . .

it's wonderful to find this from you my friend, it's been too long . . . thank you
