I don’t have a reflection for this piece, except to say that inspiration came at me in a rush and it gave me a hopeful feeling. I hope you enjoy it.

Growing More Certain

Someday, the silence will share its strength, 
A last sigh, swallowing the noise.
Days will dawn when the dark will drain into the delicate,
Only faint shadows lingering.
Gratefully, you’ll see greener grass through the gravel,
A soft-coloured carpet to absorb our intrusion.
Wait! And the wind will wade through worries,
Breaking the anchor to sail apart.

Time won’t say when.
And I don’t know when,
But I grow more certain,
Despite grey matter limits,
Despite fractured prayers,
I grow more certain…

Someday, silence will share its strength.
