Loud Silence

Here's a poem I wrote because I was thinking about how that God speaks to us in all sorts of different ways. Here's one of the ways I believe He shows us His glory.

"Loud Silence"

I stand there
By the creek watching my reflection
In the waters below
My eyes wander
To the beautiful green mountainside
And gaze upon the red rose in my garden
Silence all around
Yet it seems to speak so loud
I hear God’s voice
How could I ever say anything?
Anything in this loud silence to describe
How that I feel when I heard Him speak
The horse gallops down the field
And I can’t keep my feet from dancing
Singing to the rhythm of a bird’s chirp
When I open my mouth to say something
About what happened today
No words will roll off my tongue
All that is there to explain what I felt
Is silence that speaks so loud
Louder than anything I could ever say
How can I ever thank God enough
For His beautiful voice
Yet I heard it through the silence
Of the fluttering butterfly
And when the ocean tide
Rolled in and back out again
When the sun set beyond the horizon
What can I do?
What can I say?
I never knew that silence could make me feel this way!
