the silence

the silence
that surrounds me now
pierces into
my heart

and my very soul

the path
i once walked upon
so assuredly

is forever changed

what now
is normal?
what now
is good?

what life
is calling?

i do not know

nothing
is heard

nothing
but the blinding
screams

of silence

(gone)


silence

how tired you must be
of the clouds that move
across her face

when you barely whisper her name

how patient you must be
to endure the wary looks 
she gives you

when you gently take her hand

the beauty 
inside
must be worth the darkness
outside

or you wouldn't be so near

what does she fear?

why does 
silence
follow her every step?

is she 
really worth
the mystery

or should buried treasures
remain 
underground?
