only in silence                                                          ­            

•

The silence of your most sacred prayer

////                                
so many names
                   ////

I remember her as RUTH

then MARITA

DIMIERA  /// BARBARA

So many forms but it was always

she who was there

••

Only in the silence comes true words

Fit for your ear

••

Only in feelings that linger thru the centuries

                               We know as                pure dominion

We hold as our humanity

( It's awesome obligation )

///

To keep secure

For the new child always

••

All the lovely ladies

I have loved

Everyone

With total passion and dedication

Of the

Past

The present

And

The years to come

Won't you walk a ways with me ?
