I sit in a garden
A long way from home,
And listen in the silence.
Children’s shrieks of laughter
Waft from the far side,
Whilst I sit in the silence.
A humming bird flits from
Flower to flower
As I watch in the silence.
All around me life grows
Green and red and blue,
As I wait in the silence.
Life takes time, won’t be rushed,
Cannot be contained;
Does its work in the silence.
So if I sit and watch
And wait and listen
Will I grow in the silence
Too?
