Dark Spots

Dark spots against the brilliant sun
In darkness the cold deed was done

We were talking so freely
Sharing secrets without fear
In the buzzing silence of the moving car
You told us your own heart
And for a moment
Silence was all anyone could hear

Sick of heart, I listened hard
To your tale that was never to leave
The walls of that moving van
Nor the hearts and minds of those who heard it.
You told us of the seed that had been planted
The seed that blossomed into a thousand later fears
Floating through your life
Through all your years.

I wasn't sure what to say
So in silence there I stayed
I don't know if inside I cried
Or silently prayed, right then.
Your voice spoke those words so easily
But I cannot know your thoughts-
What struggle you must have had
Deciding whether or not
To tell us.

Dark spots against the brilliant sun
In darkness our silence was won
