Bittersweet

But not so

Howling winds bring comfort
while the chill air cannot be felt,
a small taste of distraction ensues.

Alas, humble to the reserved disposition
observing a painting that once was
alive.

The proverbial gong is struck
with a frequency unknown
and off-putting.

Whispers among the locals surround,
filling the nuance with the
unexpected.

For when will the balance between
chaos and silence come?
Perhaps it was never meant
to be in balance at all.
