Silence

A Blue Cocoon

~ Silence ~

The worst case scenario had happened: 

her world seems deaf, his voice now mute

the silent void a thick foam block encasing

a cold suffocating absence -- his presence

No whistling drifting from his workshop now

gone was the sound of footsteps in the door

garden tools dropped to the floor and more

a death she first deemed unable to endure

until one day, out of the silence rose a thought

sparked by a comment she had heard or read

her nature was to savor it to further ponder

she made a note and then another line until

her old familiar joy of writing took a hold. Tiny

bursts of words at first - her heart became ajar

lighting frail new blossoms rooted in old soil 

nurtured by the gift of quiet, time and place

~ Silence ~

The best case scenario had happened

for in her loss she found her voice

harsh gray silence softened to a

blue cocoon filled with words
