silence does not echo for silence to echo, it must first speak it must speak in that psychic language whose lexicon cannot be taught, but must be learned silence does not speak for slience to speak, it must have a voice a voice to carry itself across the domestic chasm one that sems to grow wider and wider as final nights descend silence cannot be heard for silence to be heard, there must be ears ears to filter out the noise of questioning voices and to know that what is not said is not what is said silence does not echo for silence to echo, there must be walls walls to lengthen and widen the sound of light and, for a time, to hide what need not be seen but, there are no more walls nothing more to hide from the searching silence nothing more for it to echo off of when there's nothing left to be said nothing left but the final realization that the silence has quieted and that I can only feel the rain ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person, but to one person, you may be the world. |

for silence to echo, it must first speak it must speak in that psychic language whose lexicon cannot be taught, but must be learned ~*~ and the psychic language is in feel, touch, knowing...but no words... well done, Sir. |

You may not post often these days, but every time I read one of your poems I always think: "this is a piece of true art." |
