Silence

Poem

Silent wail,
Silent screams,
The ones that linger in the vacuum of dreams.
Silent winds,
Silent leaves,
Beginning of the tragedy and wake of grief.
Silent waters,
Silent ground,
That buries the banished and sorrow of the drowned.
Silent agony,
Stifled words,
The end of the cries that couldn’t be heard.
Silent days,
Burning nights,
Crumbling columns and fuming lights.
Silent eves,
Silent birds,
With whom stands none in a forgetful world.
Silent rifts,
Silent eyes,
That couldn’t the dawn that rise.
