LITANY TO SILENCE

Saint Augustine said: "Time is a three fold present; the present as we experience it, the past as a present memory, and the future as a present expectation."

Kneeling alone in a huge empty Cathedral

 S i l e n c e

A Holy Hush after a fierce night storm

S i l e n c e

   While wedding vow questions are asked

    While a Army Color guard Salute is passed

     Memories that shall forever last

               S I L E N C E

Watching a spectacular Golden Sunset

S i l e n c e

One red velvet Rose petal fluttering down

S i l e n c e

Final words at our dear loved one's grave

 Honoring Unknown Soldiers so brave

   Stunned by Calvary's great price paid

            S I L E N C E

Having some friends "over there" that I worry about daily, I think this made an impact of what I don't want to ever experience: Silence. Great work.

I appreciate your words of comment Trevor. Silence---There's a lot to think about, right?!

i felt that this is an honorary tribute to the one who serve the countries cruel war games…
i always notice the plotting of war is always the same from old to present...
human lives always pays the consequences of some not so good deeds...
it never did change...
Silences says many things hidden – on which is really golden…

I love the format and how you emphasize S I L E N C E - which gives a impact to your piece...
great piece...
