Just Be Silent

Just Be Silent

“Just be silent,”
the child’s voice whispered
on my answering machine

I obeyed,
stood listening, still
to the quiet.

Just be silent.

I waited for a long time,
no more words came.
I softly hung up the phone
and listened to the silence--

just be silent

just be

listen

silent
