sometimes the best thing is silence

First of all thank you Elena for your nice comments even if they were in Spanish:) I started this blog a few months ago when I could no longer afford the hosting costs for my own domain name. All these things I am posting are either mine or they get all the proper credits although I am trying to post only my creations, either written or photographed. I don't have any adds on the blog because this one in particular is mostly created for my soul. Of course, I am happy when someone stumbles across this blog and spends a few minutes here and I am pleased when people take their time to leave a comment or drop a line.

Today I have a poem called Silence. Although I majored in journalism and mass communications, I am not an extremely talkative person and sometimes I just like it when it silent around me. Of course this is very rare now that I have a five years old beautiful girl, but I guess I now treasure more the moments I am being alone or with my husband only. And of course, most of the romantic or nice moments are "spoiled" by my little one.

Anyways, here is the poem I've mentioned. I hope you like it.

Silence 

I'm sitting alone in my room
Waiting for the phone to ring.
The moon watches me smiling
From behind the clouds.
Only me and the stars
Seem to be awake,
And I'm still waiting.

I decide to go for a walk.
Through the peace of the night,
Only the lights keep me company.
I finally go home and check my messages:
Just one.
Silence.
I can hear my heartbeat
Trying to tell me something,
But I can't understand her,
And I hear the tone.
I feel like a stranger to myself.
And the phone is as quiet as I am.
And you?
I couldn't have written this poem without you.
