Silence After

Without a whisper

Within a stir

Words that weren’t  

And never were

Upon the breath

No hush disturbed

No silenced bashed

As moments wait

Holding still

There in place

Confinement felt

Behind the stare

The heart of faith

Beats not pale

As passions told

A vivid tale

Still not to speak

Nor hear a sound

It’s loud within

A moist embrace

Yet not to leave

A bond unbound

The softest touch

Holds no trace

As silence fills

The only space
