with prayerful reflection, of intimacy in the presence
There is a silence of the heart
that exists in empty nothingness
An unspeakably deep void
Where memories of a loved one
dwell, coalesce
For ever embedded in the recesses
of one’s mind
A timeless, untimely place, eternally
wanting, yearning, aching, numbing
A frontier-less space, vast as the cosmos
From whence eyes remain unlifted
Upon which ears stay unstopped
A motionless state of being, unmet
When all that is
dearly beloved and treasured
stands
still
speechless
Don’t ask me
how I am
Do not disturb
the fathomless depths
of unknowable peace
Dare not approach
the intimate cloud of unknowing
Immortal, Invisible, Inaccessible
welling up
with a bowl
of profound intercessions
in perpetuity
Stay with me
Pray with me
Belay with me
When words fail
Where sentiments assail
Whether unspoken or unexpressed
Let
silence
unsounded
be
