Almost Silent by Anita McQueen
Wind whistling slow
almost silent
*
outside the window
God sleeping
*
waiting
beside me
*
waiting
for me
to blossom
into His bride.

Words from Anita McQueen: Sometimes I’m a loner. Sometimes I talk too much to everyone I meet. But most of the time I write poetry as I fall asleep. My poems have appeared in The Camel Saloon, The Literary Burlesque, and Raven Images.

I very much enjoyed reading “Almost Silent” by Anita McQueen not only because of the quality of the poem but also for the fact that a poem so spiritual could actually find a publisher in 2011. Orthodox spirituality, I have found, is not that welcome at many sites today. That’s sad. Thanks to Rebecca Burgener and Pond Ripples for running it.
