(UNTITLED)

Silence fills the world around me
because all I see is you
shimmering through the darkest night
a heavenly light to fill this place

covering expanses oceans wide
and choosing my heart to reside

All will calm with your touch
the moment you appear
and in the distance, anticipating your
  approach
Myriads of angels listen, watch

In shadows, and voices, and anything
  dear
I realize your are always near

Shuffling through the glorious gala
I find a space next to you
Your presence fills my heart, my soul
and silence falls upon the celebration
My hearing is gone with every sense of
  you

For what is there to hear
when silence can explain the world
