Be still my voice

@Uootem

Be still my voice
          remain in your prison of silence
              for now is not the time.
                          not even for whispers
                                            not even for sighs.
It is the season for love poems
                    and for recollections of all that is lost.
Be still in this moment
                  so that I can gather my thoughts.
  Thoughts of being without her,
                          and of these futile yearning days.
Be still my voice 
              do not betray me
                              a secret is a secret.
  I feel your yearning
                  and wishing to be heard.
                            but do not relinquish one word.
This silence is for listening...
                hear the song of love singing...
                                hear her voice in the winds of memory...
                                                hear her dancing in the falling leaves...
If you listen long enough
                I can believe almost anything
                            even that there will come a day
                                              for talking and confessing
                                                            a time for whispering and shouting
                                                                    a time of love renewed.
