Creative silence 

Unlike the silence

Of death

Is life-giving:-

In creative silence

The heart beats;

Blood flows;

Breathing abounds.

In the silence of mind

Sage words scream out

Divine wisdom and guidance

Quietly flowing 

Form her hued womb

As birthing water breaks—

Breaking waters

Flowing poetic births

Whose screams 

Are quietly heard

When penned and read—

Creative silence

Unlike the silence

Of death

Is life-giving:-

As you quietly

Sit there,

May your pregnant

Poetic mind

Continue in silence

To birth

Screaming echoes

Of peace, love,

    And awareness

     In their allegorical

     Messages

     Of life—

      Creative silence

     Unlike the silence

     Of death

     Is life-giving:-

     While I sit here

     Quietly dying

     My pregnant mind

     Silently screams—

     Echoing clanging births:-

     Creative silence

     Unlike the silence

     Of death

     Is life-giving:-

     The voice 

     May be silenced

     Through crucifixion,

     Shootings and kneeing

     Lynching;

     Yet her inked

     Clanging echoes

     Will quietly 

     Ring out loud.

     Creative silence

     Unlike the silence

     Of death

     Is life-giving:-

     May the thighs

     Of your 

     Soul and spirit

     Forever 

     Quietly listen—

     Opening wide

     To silently flowing  

     Screaming 

     Impregnation:-

     Creative silence

     Unlike the silence

     Of death

     Is life-giving:-
