Empty Arms, No Longer (Silence & Life)

When is one no longer considered alone?

Silence.

Deafening Silence.

Life-changing Silence.

Is my soul but a whisper?

I had been lying to myself the entire time.

It was only a desire for warmth, for intimacy.

That caused me to feel any need to speak.

But fingers have been put against my lips,

to hush, to caress. 

How can nothing have ever felt so right?

My bag is mostly unpacked.

When you live the way that I have chosen to,

Plans that work out are a thing of the imagination.

"Peregrinatio est tacere"
"To be silent keeps us pilgrims."

Hold your tongue, find yourself and the Almighty in silence.
Make no more plans, start living.
