shhh listen
shhhhh listen close
to the silence so often forgot
from which can crawl
horrors of the night
the silence before
dawns golden light
the silence which begins
the breaking of a heart
the silence between
the words i do
the silence from which
a new baby cries
the silence in the night
between each baby's breath
now listen to the silence
in it is a world to hear
