Silent Speaking
To speak a name ...
most Beneficient, most Glorious,
the All-Wise or to This
from whence I came:
No words have I to say
for love lies between us, unspoken.
How to speak of hope if
I turn away from the downtrodden,
how to ask for forgiveness
as my hands kill in Your names ...
so many names ...
how to say thank you for all
as I hoard wealth and
how empty are promises
as children starve?
No, I have nothing to say
as I listen to the cooing of a dove
or the cacaphony of a blue jay
and laugh with You.
