Break The Silence My lover’s gone. The silence of her passing Lives in these rooms. All those years are in the noise resounding from the walls on the carrier of my heart. Break the silence, Lord, please . . . break the silence of her passing, and let me sleep. © wesley james beard, jr. |

Touching poetry, buddy. Short, very much to the point with an ache within each and every line. ~*~ When politicians give up on liberty, it falls to poets to preserve it. Or write its epitaph. ~*~ |

Dearest Jimmy, You touched my heart big time with this one. Your grief is palpable and immeasurable and the tears just keep coming. God bless your tender heart. Lori |

Jimmy, I know that often your poetry is not autobiographical. I am hoping against hope that this is fiction, but I am so afraid that it is true . . . and if it is, I am so very sorry to hear it. Your poem is exquisite, and so very worthy of such a great love. Tears Owl |

Thank you very much, each and every one of you, for the size of your hearts and souls, but happily, this is not about me, or any one person in particular. Rather, like much of my writing, it's my attempt to put into words what is felt in one of the various situations life presents. Thank you for the read, the words, and for being there. jimmy |

Oh my goodness, Jimmy, a huge sigh of relief! The tears were already burning at the back of my eyes as I came into this, so afraid for confirmation of my previous fears . . . and what a pleasure to banish them! Owl |

Ah, reminds me of an old Manfred Mann album title, "The Roaring Silence". Powerful words, the reader can't help but feel the ache. Michael |

Touching. There is no breaking of the silence; it is too loud. |
