Adam (not Cartwright) was there, and silent; and silence is not always a bad thing. And silence is not always a good thing.

T, do you realize what you just wrote? This is achingly beautiful. Here’s my version of you. Can I post it on the Book of Pain? There is some words I’d put in italics, but I can’t do that here. In any event, this is beautiful.
Just what time is it?
Our Adam was still there, and silent.
Silence is not always a bad thing
nor is it always a good thing.
It’s late, I’m silent with him
and my brilliant and beautiful wife
has stumbled into her slumber,
a rational thing to do all things told.
There was some get-together last night
all over the continent—their focus
to turn the hour on their clocks
one way or another. I was convinced
to jump in on the madness and that
might be why I’m so tired now,
although it is not yet midnight. Seems later.
We were all supposed to fall back together
and apparently we did.
My partner just broke the silence
of her slumber to tell me respectfully,
“Its time to stop your computing dear—
come to bed,” so I guess I will.
Find your voice. Rejoice. Pray and listen.
This week grab wisdom and don’t be stupid.
I went to bed.
John, Did I ever tell you I appreciate paradox? “Achingly beautiful” strikes me as a paradox … I try to receive such compliments when they come, as opposed to practicing false humility. Peace, T
John, I really cannot thank you enough for taking some interest in my post, and then releasing your creativity to flow with my post playing some part of the whole process. Cool. I’m so honored.
funny, but there is wisdom in stupidity. Forest Gump wasn’t so stupid at all.
thank you for taking time to speak into this. You have a paradox happening there, and I had not thought of stupidity and wisdom and paradox. Peace, T
