Because of

Your presence

demands attention

making weak these hands

I’m speechless

I understand

silence

my only option

The true ascension

no new vision here

only a new way of seeing

silence

my joyous option

because of adoption

your presence

in creation

in sabbath,

with midlife

and sadness

has become

a

natural saline

for my eyes

silence

my honest confession

you have my full attention
