Blank and bleak I am left emotionless as I stand here listening to the stillness for a sound any sound that might bring distraction from this emptiness but no matter how loud my thoughts scream out only, silence remains and I, tilt my head, trying to catch an echoe of yesterday but time... time has slipped away replaced by modern day... amidst all of this noise held in refrain.. only, silence remains. seek the flame within yourself |

You know sometimes in that silence comes the most incredible direction and the very answers we were searching for  I hope that is what happens in this case. Very sad this poem but incredibly good and heartfelt. |

Very well done Donna!  it does get better. Sometimes the people in our lives need to take a break in order to see how good they have it. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

It was that silence that gave painful birth to your exquisite poem, that so many of us have loved and understood - and hidden in that silence, so many voices have emerged of friends who obviously know and love you so much. Although I am new here (well, relatively), I would be honoured to be counted amongst your friends and to add to the voices wishing you well. - Owl |

There is a healing to be found within the cloak of silence,a catharsis, a time to think, to dream,to "be"....thank you.. Goldenrose. Desire for nothing except desirelessness,hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes, want nothing and you will have everything.avatar Meher Baba. |
