As I listen to the silence 
That whispers from your presence 
Shepherded by ancient patience 
That was born of perseverance 
And anchored by steely assurance 
 
I am reassured by quiet memory 
Oft repeated as in a parody 
Vibrating with resonant melody 
That so often ends in tragedy 
When not attended by astute strategy 
 
As I watch the shiny darkness 
I am filled with mighty sadness 
At life’s stony harshness 
But I must retain hardy braveness 
Lest I fall victim of reedy hopelessness  
 
As I wipe the tears of happiness 
I laugh from the memories of sadness 
That held me prisoner of darkness 
To day I am freed from wickedness 
That held to ransom all goodness 
 
The echoes of your silence feel me with peace 
And I rise with the sun to feel the grace 
With which I ride on at my pace 
For I know all the riches of the world apiece 
Can never replace my new found space
