Silence

By Terah Ware

Now that I sit in silence with no distractions or pursuits, my mind 

wonders back to this path that I always choose. 

An art teacher, a mother, an artist, a sister, a sweet heart, a 

woman, a daughter, a caregiver. 

I feel these roles daily in my mind and caress their importance 

with each stride.

  One may be heavier or tip me off balance, but I will always carry 

each one in my silence.

My Masterpiece

Koen, I could never fathom until now how much a 

soul could change me. How your birth created 

ripples in my still energy and lapped the shoreline 

of my existence. I never knew how silent I was 

before you came into my life. How protecting 

another soul was so valuable. You are so 

pure...and I only strive to understand. I am 

honored to be apart of your life...I love you.
