Love & Friendship

Go see this Jane Austen movie~ Love and Friendship

June Moon

You passed in the night,

And shone so bright,

Through my window.

 

Where do you go, when,

Your light fades,

A secret place, and then,

Back again.

 

Soon you'll return,

To your place in the sky,

I'll nod my head as you,

Pass me by.

Silence Broken

I sat so still and dared not breath,

For the sky and trees were quiet,

Too quiet, so that I began to wonder,

Where were the birds? 

I watched and waited and still nothing,

Barely breathing so as not to distill the stillness,

I waited and watched -- not even a peep,

Shattered the evening silence.

There are no birds here,

I finally concluded, it must be so,

For they are never silent,

Their chatter rings in the day and,

Closes the night with song.

I closed my eyes and waited,

I opened my ears and held my breath,

As I breathed out, there was one faint cry,

One small, bird-word, spoken to the scene.

I heard it, and the bird knew I heard it.

Finally, the suspense was stirred,

And the silence broken,

And I realized that the birds,

Had been watching me,

Daring not to peep,

Daring not to shatter the silence.

I sat so still and dared not breath,

I let that bird-word ring out into the air,

And still it rings in my ears,

Like a wind chime with the lovliest sound.

These Lovely June Days

I'm so glad God made tempestuous days,

The cool, the wet, the grey,

...Come what may,

These lovely June days.
