Fall into Silence   

By Gerard Traub

To shout into the storm

stretch wide with every ocean

yet most of all let me fall into silence

surrender in timeless motion.

To spark a seed of fire

stir every heart from sleep 

to light the way through shadows

a flame inside forests deep.

To shed this swarm of self

sense every beckoning tide

to weave the air with my wings

and soar into sun and sky.

To search between each breath

sing my every atom awake

yet most of all let me fall into silence

such worlds I alone create.
