June Moon

You passed in the night,

And shone so bright,

Through my window.

 

Where do you go, when,

Your light fades,

A secret place, and then,

Back again.

 

Soon you'll return,

To your place in the sky,

I'll nod my head as you,

Pass me by.

Silence Broken

I sat so still and dared not breath,
For the sky and trees were quiet,
Too quiet, so that I began to wonder,
Where were the birds? 

I watched and waited and still nothing,
Barely breathing so as not to distill the stillness,
I waited and watched -- not even a peep,
Shattered the evening silence.

There are no birds here,
I finally concluded, it must be so,
For they are never silent,
Their chatter rings in the day and,
Closes the night with song.

I closed my eyes and waited,
I opened my ears and held my breath,
As I breathed out, there was one faint cry,
One small, bird-word, spoken to the scene.

I heard it, and the bird knew I heard it.
Finally, the suspense was stirred,
And the silence broken,
And I realized that the birds,
Had been watching me,
Daring not to peep,
Daring not to shatter the silence.

I sat so still and dared not breath,
I let that bird-word ring out into the air,
And still it rings in my ears,
Like a wind chime with the lovliest sound.

These Lovely June Days

I'm so glad God made tempestuous days,
The cool, the wet, the grey,
...Come what may,
These lovely June days.
