A writer whispers,
words beating creativity
regenerating inside love
crying to be understood
voice of the unknown
awaiting recognition.

Words dreaming to be heard
echoes keep coming back
silenced in soundproofing
absorbed within obscurity
screaming in such depth
that the pain keeps trying
to be understood by others.

Most poets will never gain fame,
words fading within history
being repeated by loved ones
laying on dusty bookshelves
hoping to get discovered,
grave to finally germinate,
silence finally letting loose.

A silence heard, and understood.
Enjoyed the not-for-prime-time read.

The most important words are whispered. Always. Lovely poem.
