Charade

Meaningless Games

Well-meaning people speaking

Meaningless words

Evoking company

For an afternoon meant-well.

An Illusion

Of Filled Silence

Plastering the Pain

Of Truth.

Sitting with My Self

Again

Always

In the Whatever

With the Whoever

Hearing Stories

That engage or bore.

Occasionally,

A true meeting of Souls

Expressing openly

In Pain

In Love

In Nakedness

Ah then, a chink of meaning

I sit with Myself

(Again)

More Fully

More Deeply

More Really

My Being, A Meaningful Silence.

Rev Jenny Miller
