PRACTICING SILENCE
Poems
by Jon G. Jackson

“Silence will teach us, most of all, what we need to know.”


 

From the introduction: “When I was younger, I always wanted to write prose. I saw myself writing science fiction and strange psychological tales. Stories abounded in my imagination, and they still do. Writing prose didn’t really happen, though I’ve never lost that long-held passion. But, meanwhile, in the last fifteen years, I more or less fell into writing poetry. And what a gift this has been!”

STARS ON A RAINY NIGHT
Where do they go,
Those starry stars,
Those winking lights,
Lanterns of the night?

They fall to earth,
As drops of life,
And flow as streams,
To open seas,
Back to the sky.
