Silence:
~Elegy of my Soul~
As I lay
My head throbs, my heart pounds.
I listen to the Silence
Surrounding me.
The world is resting
In Silent repose.
No cars rushing by
Taking busy commuters on their way,
Never stopping.
No birds singing
The Silence unmarred
By their cacophony.
But the Silence
Is more deafening than a 747,
Or a construction crew,
Chattering away at the asphalt.
It is a cold Silence,
Sending shivers to my very soul.
It is a terrifying din
That causes my heart to beat faster,
My head to spin,
My soul to tremble,
And my anger to quell.
It is a maddening Silence
I want to scream,
But am afraid to break such a beautiful hush.
I want to cower,
To hide amongst others,
So this damning
Spiteful Silence
Will leave me.
And my mind can be free
And my soul can have respite.
But there are no others.
I am alone in this symphony of nothingness,
This black, unholy requiem
That seems
Never to cease.
I scowl.
And as I lay,
Contemplating how best to rid myself
Of this ear-splitting still
I hear a single robin
Shattering the morning
With its superb
Symphonic cry.
My soul leaps,
My heart longs to hear that lovely song-bird
Trumpet its tenacious cry
Once again.
To be rid of this Silence
That kills dreams;
Derails hope;
Damns the soul to an eternity in hell!
Again!
My mind cries,
Again!
Sing for me,
Sing away this black hearted
Soul-crushing Silence.
Sing that I may once again
Have your delicate melody,
The most beautiful of ballads,
Dance through my mind
To clear the cobwebs of my soul!
Sing that I may taste
Of your raucous tune,
So delicate and sweet.
Me ear’s palate
Longs to sample this,
The loveliest of the birds,
Beautiful adagio once again.
To taste of it as delicately,
As of wine.
If I could only hear it
Once more!
Where is my dashing savior,
My knight in downy armor,
To same me from the dragon
Unleashed in my mind
By my own devices.
Another glorious call
From above!
As tangible as a life preserver!
A magnificent rescue line
To draw me out of the dark
Fiery pits of this stagnant Silence.
But the rope is a dark, writhing mass of repugnant malevolence.
Unfit to liberate
Even the lowliest of creatures.
That mocking shriek
Reaches to me.
The tentative hand of the devil.
No!
I say,
No!
I shall burn in my own hell
Before I am saved
By one such as this!
Retract your vile hand!
Remove yourself from me!
Leave me that precious Silence
I was damned to
Before you came
Selling your false truths;
Your damning lies, deliberated to save my soul!
Another outburst from that depraved reincarnation
Of my worst fears;
That embodiment of my demons.
I would rather die
Than be saved by such a black creature.
I long for Silence
Once again
Rather than be damned by that
Foul creatures repulsive,
Contemptuous sonata.
That spewed from its black tongue.
My soul,
My poor, tired soul,
Scarred by that dark messengers black cry,
Trapped between damnation in itself,
And damnation at the hands of another
Shriveled and found
~Eternal Solace~
