Loud Silence

 

There is a weight of “Silence”

Heavier than a rock

It roars wildly

But never speaks

It builds walls across

At its coldest peaks

It doesn’t shout or fight

It just waits to drown in the fading light

It is a tale: untold

A story that’ll never unfold

An echo that is lost- and never found

It’s just a muted tune with a humming sound

It is a restless flame,

With no trace- no name

It keeps growing into shadows: quite and dak

Blowing away all the possible little spark

It is a furnace- cold

It isn’t an answer but a loud scold

Which waits for a time that’s right

Until the voice can take a proper flight

It is a voice of inner scream

Unheard feelings like a broken dream,

It speaks without words or a sound

And revolves in the mind and heart round and round!!
