Silence

9th day of National Poetry Month. You're invited to respond with a poem of your own, or perhaps some lines you like. But even if you don't respond at all, I'll still adore you.
 
Silence
By Edith Hope Bishop, May 2019

Silence,
I’m told,
is fertile ground.
What can I plant
there?
A word
to grow
between us.
A phrase
unfurling.
I would kiss you
in the shade of
that tree.
I would.
