Silence Reigns. Poem by Fay Slimm

Silence Reigns.

Rating: 5.0


Silence envelopes my world tonight.
Quiet asserts itself, mists my sky
And lies heavy. Stars are dull, blighted
By gloom, and like them I cannot rely
On clear light. Your love has now flouted
My own, surrounded by doubt, before
Long I shall be hoarse by this shouting
At quiet. You are gone, and I am alone.
As silence reigns, my grief is showing.

The state of being dominated by the silence is very well narrated in this poem. In such states silence holds the royal powers and really can seed through the imaginaitons of humankind that sometimes make one a nonresponsive sculpt if it overwhelms.....The poem describes the prevailing sadness in a very wonderful manner.......10/10
