 My Poems are written straight from my heart, some are from the hardships I have experienced in my life, and some are from the inspiration of my two boys Matthew and Adam

The Mirror of Silence


I caught a glimpse of my empty heart
in the mirror of silence today.
I turned away, afraid.
Its chasms run deep;
its chambers divide
me from You.
my heart is filled with the noise of the world.
It echoes and bounces off fear hardened walls.
Would that I rather it be filled with
illusions that shadow
your light in the silence?
I am numbed by the noise, as I run to escape,
And I'm trapped.
Would that I linger
just once in Your sight;
in the silence of me
as You look down at me.
Would that I hear that
your voice calls me Home
where my silence is peace
and my echoes rejoice
and my mirror reflects only You, Jesus.
