FALL/ WINTER 2012

Maria Manobianco

BETWEEN SILENCE

outside the rhythm of the beads
there is a silence between prayers
the broken link of anticipation

swallowed breath of awe
sacred moment of blessings
quickened heart of the beloved

between words unspoken
actions not taken
reality and dreams

the fullness of the cup
after the thirst of the run
the silence of rest

there is an empty space
where disappointment burrows
and opportunity slips from reach

there is a light between contemplation
when hope tightens its hold
and life silences no to yes
