Hush

HENRI NOUWEN:

"Somewhere we know that without silence words loose their meaning, that without listening, speaking no longer heals, that without distance, closeness cannot cure."

The hush that falls upon our ears

Leaves us ample time to ponder

Continuous voices from our own lips.

Leave critical words hanging in the air

So many turn and walk away

Frustrated not to be heard

Without the silence for opposing voices

Only our own perspective will linger there
