Silence

Author: Unknown

I stop on this road, and take a good look around
And freedom cannot be found
I listen for the sounds of dying in the trees,
For even majesty must fall to its knees
Problems abound in this big and little town
I wonder why I stay around
Heartbreak times thrice
By the worst of the mice
And sometimes it would be nice
If my heart really was ice.
The silence is a double edged sword
And most times it cannot be ignored
Starts as a ringing then turns to a roar
Till my heart is in shreds and I can’t take anymore
Can’t escape this emptiness,
The nothingness-
This loneliness I can’t suppress,
It has gotten the best…

Would seem you were kinda down at the time.
Venting is good. Hope you are more upbeat
now. A good reflection of your feelings at
the time.

You surely have a way with words, dear poetess, cause they touched my heart, which means you've driven home your sadness, the sadness of some ... can't help quoting this stanza:

"When some great sorrow, like a mighty river,
Flows through your life with peace-destroying power
And dearest things are swept from sight forever,
Say to your heart each trying hour:
"This, too, shall pass away."
("This too shall Pass" by Lanta Wilson Smith)

I hope the sadness of time has passed and you are back on your track. Loved your poem. Many thanks for sharing!
