One Seed Show

there are volumes
in words not said
pangs of hunger
appetite left unfed
very bread of life
which we need
unfertilized ground
sows dormant seeds
in the quiet soil
a word could grow
a forest arises
in a one seed show
say a just word
many will bloom
flowers will fragrance
a silent room

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)  Shakespeare

I think I may be receiving this in a different way than you have written it,  nonetheless...I find the silence a bit too loud tonight, also.  And should it care to bloom in remedy, I certainly would not complain.

Very nice,
Minor point:


which we need
unfertilized ground
sows dormant seeds
in the quiet soil

should perhaps read


which we need
unfertilized ground

sown dormant seeds
into quiet soil

flowers will fragrance a silent room,
yes and an empty one also


Enjoyed
