"Listen and Silent are spelled with the same letters––coincidence?
I don't think so. " Alfred Brendel
Silent
by Elece Hollis
Have you ever listened
to the sound
of a single candle
flickering in a dark place?
Have you ever listened
to the power
to the power
of a whispered prayer
in the center of a crisis?
Have you ever listened
to the thunder
of one soft kind word
in the midst
of an angry crowd?
Have you ever listened
to different?
Have you ever listened?
Love your poem, Elece. Such great food for thought. Powerful.
