Beauty in Silence

Speak only when your

words are more beautiful

than silence ~

               Imam Ali

there is a beauty in silence

in the silent majesty of mountains

in an eagle soaring

and the whispering of the wind

there is a beauty

in a hand reaching out to comfort

in a hug given

in food offered

and compassion given

through silent presence

help me Lord to be silent,

and bless

the silence

with your beautiful presence
