Silence
when I need you most
while drenched petals fall
under feeble moonlight
from rose-shrubs uprooted,
tumbleweeds blown
by the howling wind —
Would I need the finger-
touch of nail-prints, my hand
upon your side to know
You are here
somewhere in this garden
as I tread upon the flooded grass,
pellet drumbeats
drown
the silence that taunts
when I need you most.

Thank you for each timely message. The peace and appreciation I have when I take time out in my garden, it always gives me such comfort. You have an amazingly way of bringing God’s creative touch into the hearts!
Thank you, the little things we neglect to see in God’s creation seem to be the greatest of all, nature always has given me peace, joy and much comfort! Blessings for your amazing call to minister on behalf of God’s creation❤️
Thank you for this! I heard that you have another book coming out; we’d like to host you for a book talk either November or December. (Or even after the first of the year!)

Miss Sue, I was at your church last week talking to the JOY group. Heard you name as a birthday. Congratulations late. As always, I would love to come to Rocky Mount.
I understand exactly, deep inside I need silence, peace, fresh air, and my garden…
Beautiful writing – most moving and deep.
When I need some silence I go outside and pull weeds. No one joins me there!!
I know exactly what you mean.
