tim's Bits and Pieces - 18. You and Me and The Silent

No, Michael and i have not been fighting ...

~~

1. you and me

 

I hate it when we disagree

Loath it when we fight

You mean all the world to me

With you, everything’s all right

 

You’ve been rock steady all along

Choosing the right course to steer

Together we sing a powerful song

In our hearts we’re always near

 

My love for you is endless and deep

And you know me through and through

Without you, the path ahead’s too steep

When you’re close—it’s just an avenue

 

 

2. the silent

 

Too often and so many walk through our world

Bleating like frightened sheep, or

Howling and gnashing teeth like angry wolves

But our world belongs to the silent

Ghostly people who tread softly between storms

They do not fear its beauty

Respect its power and its majesty

They know to leave well enough, alone

 

~~

Thanks to all who read my words ... you bring them alive.

"you and me"

sometimes, it takes me a while to be able to put my reactions into words

but not this one!  it hit home in so many ways but most especially those last two lines, oh they hit my heart!

you have such a gift, the way your words, about things in your world, say things that i would love to say

 

"the silent" 

 reminds me to breathe, to look around, and "see" what's behind all the noise

 

i know i say it all the time, but thank you tim, for sharing your gift with us

for trusting us with these words from your heart

xoxo

thank's molly ... i'm glad they touched you xo

Excellent poems, my brother. It took me a while to think of the right words today.

 

I'll echo Kitt, in that the first one shows a lot of love between two people. While it may have been written about you and Mike, it can be applied to many different relationships.

 

The second one spoke to me something fierce, and it's the reason why it's taken me a while to comment. I still can't put into words, what it's making me think and feel about.

Thank you A. Don't ever think you have to comment until you're ready ... i appreciate you reading my work.  i am often the same and frankly i'm better commenting on things in the mornings when i'm more awake! :)

Sometimes I wonder about exactly what you are seeing. Beautiful, both of them, but it's the Silent I wonder about the most.

Both beautiful poems, tim. The love in the first is palpable, but it’s  the second which made me go hmm. 

To me, it reads like the saying; the meek shall inherit the earth. There’s more power in living with humility and compassion. A richer and more rewarding spirit/soul too. 

 

 

Loved them.
