THE SILENT IN-BETWEEN

the main festivities are wrapped,

those slow, in-between days arrived.

in-between goes for this post, too

– more moods & music,

less words.

they simmer beneath the surface,

ready to take form 

for the new year about to unveil itself.

i want to hear the silence

& take heed. 

(the ethereal compositions of Ola Gjeilo,

a new discovery for me this winter,

is like filling the ears with music 

that is like the most beautiful silence

– stirring, a call to pause, 

allow the soul to soar.)
