Stilte

Stadig ontwaak die dag

As die son oor die water lag

Jy kan amper die stilte hoor

In sy geraas versmoor

 

Al kwê ‘n voel deur die lug

Druk die stilte hom terug

Selfs die geritsel van die wind

Word deur die stilte gebind

 

Ver koer ‘n duif

As die wind oor die water wuif

Sag lê die bootjie en rus

As die wind hom heer en weer sus

 

Twee eende kwaak in stilte verby

En een wat stil oor die water gly

En dit is die geraas van die natuur

Wat die stilte na my stuur

 

 

L.C.J. Engelbrecht
