Alpha and Omega

In the dark of nights

I sat by one cup of tea and a candle.

One candle became a poem

and poetry silenced a human heart.

I do not know, if it was me who turned

a new faith into a new way of sharing and living

but I feel something inside of me

when I can not hear the silence of the silence.

I saw the birds become quiet, in that night

while the sun was going down, and I caught

that one light for more than a lifetime

because my hands were empty and full of hope!

With all my love, Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans
