Silence Speaks Volumes
Into the shade of darkness falls,
emotions of fear and sorrow;
Emptiness lingers in the void,
with no purpose for tomorrow.
Yesterday's ghosts haunt every move,
disturbing all signs of hope;
Confusion casts its cryptic spell,
as anguished hearts try to cope.
As if spun into a web of doubt,
the silence bears its weight;
Whatever prospects of the truth,
left wholly abandoned by fate.
Perhaps our souls' awakenings,
penetrate through broken glass;
And scattered remnants of their light,
gently fall within our grasp.
The barriers of thoughtful minds,
recede from outer space;
And quiet voices thus proclaim,
those words revived with faith.
About this poem
inner thoughts can lead us astray if we are not carefully assessing the truth that can set us free from doubt.
