WAITING
I WILL be silent,
But in the hush
My heart will sing
Like a hermit thrush.
I will be silent
I’ll say no word,
My love shall burn
Like a flame unstirred.
I will be silent,
My joy I’ll hide,
And wait as the sand
For the turn of tide.
About This Book
A collection of short lyrical poems that weave mythic and religious imagery with intimate observations of nature and interior feeling. Many pieces draw on classical figures and Renaissance art, while others reflect domestic scenes, sleep, music, and sacrament; recurrent motifs include night and light, birds, water, and ritual. Voice shifts between contemplative reverie and pastoral detail, exploring longing, faith, and creative impulse. The sequence moves through imagistic vignettes—moonlit meadows, bathing maidens, sacramental harvests, and dreams—linking private emotion to larger spiritual and mythical resonances.
