This is a beautiful, heart wrenching tribute. It seems to justice to the care involved.
All the best to you.
That is beautiful. I: That is beautiful. I appreciate the timing of this, as I was just - yet again - a learner on the value of silence as I experienced a power outage yesterday. In a sense, I experienced many of the seasons of silence you so poetically touch on, in one evening in the dark. To find your poem here, re-enforcing my renewed experience, is appreciated.
