Silence
A gathering silence
Thoughts on lips
Silence
Before uttering words
Of no importance
The silence in churches
Before prayers
Silence in the dew drops
That hydrate flower petals
Silence of the birds at night
The breathless silence
Of an athlete before competition
The guilty silence of a sinner
Tranquil silence
Of the falling man
I find silence everywhere
If you would only stop, listen
Random silences of the day
Deeper feeling of silence
In the darkness
...
Thoughts on lips

Before prayers
Silence in the dew drops
That hydrate flower petals
Silence of the birds at night
The breathless silence
Of an athlete before competition
The guilty silence of a sinner
Tranquil silence
Of the falling man
I find silence everywhere
If you would only stop, listen
Random silences of the day
Deeper feeling of silence
In the darkness

Regret (for Billy Collins)
There is this sense of the irony here,
and of subtle humor --
clever twists on universal truths
not producing a so-called horselaugh or even a giggle
but more a smirk of acknowledgment
or maybe a snort or a nod
or just a twinkle in the eye
indicating that yes, we get it and yes, it is funny
especially if one likes his humor
dipping a baby toe in the mildly acidic waters of ironic drollery.
Which is, like it or not, where truth often resides.
Because we might as well accept the slapstick antics
involved in...
