Seat of Silence Here I sit in a hall that can be dark I listen to the wind outside and the silence inside I wonder when the lights will warmly glow And someone will be close to me and sitting Eagerly anticipating a note, a word, a whisper Who can it be now? A poet? A musician? Maybe this time its a public awareness event to help forge a new direction Giving my mystery friend sitting with me in my seat a reason to believe Every day or night is a new experience for me and they are the rings of a tree What will tomorrow bring? Its all in the wood.
