Silence

Silence is not golden.

silence is a horror

I wait, I hope,

in vain,

in silence.

Silence.

So many years,

my friends,

so many years.

In silence.

One,

just one

and in his silence

my heart rests

and my soul finds peace.

He knows the silence,

the silence of the mob,

reason upon reason

to back away,

ears deafened,

eyes closed,

mouth mute.

Silence.

It is at the core of the universe.

A surrender

beyond my pain,

his silence bought my tomorrow.
