the stillness of silence
can be very unsettling
no movement, no voice
just a moment of time
that appears to be frozen
yet continuing forever forward

and in its mist
lives the unforgiven
the accused, and the punished
searching for the very thing
that torments them
it will be their only escape
from themselves

as their souls
cry out in vain
the silence will be broken
and so will the cold stillness
that surrounds what remains ....


"In life's giving ... love is a gift, such worth living."

I keep a fragrance bottle my
muse gave me when I met him
in endless winter and he
settled me into remembering
who I am.

Though you speak of stillness and silence, there is something that cries and the echoes hold restlessness ...

Powerful write.

Love the new picture too.

Love,
Margherita
