"The Quandaries Of Silence..."

The quandaries of 'silence':

 

Tis better to not
Speak - she said, he said,
we said,
they said -
ALL said
"n   o   t"

 

...and then the quiet haunts so deep
deeply
within
the nights still-nesses
 falling - so slowly falling
   away   arms raised    hands splayed    ever-reaching
      to the nothing...
Forests further than any eyes can see
  straining
    missing
      wishing
         losing
           dreaming
... of 'nothings'.

 

Whispers -
  ever the whispers
streaming tears,
Raging
- so loud even the echoes don't fade -
following
each step, each turn
in the eyes
in the minds
- cold... so very very very very - cold...
- fires beyond any controls...
- silence so deep
even god must have drowned...
- nothings...

 

There are times
when WORDS are all we have
- to share or not -
to touch or not,
to GIVE -
or not,
to STAND-FOR-UP,
to be - BE or not -
who we are
what we are
..and yes some are
ARE
hurt
and hurtful but
BUT
sometimes WE ARE HURT - FULL
and lash out at
innocence
because we helditin
in
and IN
ANDINANDINANDIN 'til we didn't hold anything
anyone
any     one
in - inside - anymore...

 

take care
