the silence

we talked and as it came to a pause

we regarded one another 

a silence reigned 

it thickened in the air around us 

I felt underwater 

and everything stilled 

stay strong

my friend who is hurting 

i pray for your peace 

that my Father listens to your cries

and your heartfelt pleas

he knows you so very well 

and he loves you with loyalty 

and all the breaking around you now 

is all just temporary 

the light

when darkness came 

she chased the light 

and chased the light 

and chased the light 

it lead her to the dead end 

of a narrow street

covered by oak trees 

there she found a field 

of wild flowers opening up 

to a meadow, lush and green
