I will stay here
This is my home.
The golden silence
Fills my ears
With soft candy
I eat it
And am satisfied
And delight.
In the everyday activities
Of my life
They do not see as such a burden
And yesterday
With parents, brothers, sisters
Snapshots, ramblings, crises
In golden silence
Images of them all
Are things I can reach out to
And touch
Squeeze and caress
And marinate in
In silence
I can extract the substance of a thing
There is time outside of time
To love, to honor, to make right
And feed
These recollections
With goodwill
Add them to the heart
Where God dwells
In golden
Twinkling
Crystaline
Silence.
