My body is silent
I feel it balancing tone
And muting all conversation
Of pain or fatigue
Slowly the silence creeps into
The space around me
Where I catch it
In intervals of sound
It is glorious
And vast
And rich
Though small
My ears begin to catch
Internal sounds
The sounds of my heartbeat
The sound of my breath
Until they set a slow pace
And move with the molecules
That help them
Become silent.
This is where I can find you
Where my brain can no longer control
The way you enter it
With noiseless footsteps
I hear my heart speed up
My breath quickens
Will you break this space
Expecting words to fill it up
I wait and watch apprehensively
You sit beside me,
You begin to share
The silence with me
This is where I feel you
Without touching
Connect with you
Without words
An interval of no control
Of vulnerability
Where silence deepens
Amplifying senses
This is where you become
A part of me
Where love is born
And a moment, becomes eternal.
