Daydreams

BY CAROLE NICHOLS

Though the silence surrounds me;
In the heaviness of the silence, I hear a smile.
In the thickness of the silence, I float in the clouds.
In the deepness of the silence, I am filled with thoughts of you.

My thoughts wander on wings of gossimer dreams
Held by the quick silver essence of something elusive,
Yet still, the promise of capture beckons, enticing,
I find myself missing what I've never seen.
