“ Silence ” – for gratuitous reason –

  Listen to audio

“ Silence ”

                – for gratuitous reason –

Why must I bide

To hear but sounds

Of silence,

At times a virtue

Now but a chide,

Thus weary I be

Ever waiting                             

On verbosity,

That might reflect                                                           

A hint of life…

           

Might I propose

In shades betwixt,

Effort compose

To so thus fix,

The emptiness                                                              

Of inert silence,

And the tedium

Of verbose prolix…

A word or more

I so implore

Even neath

The aural norm,

Albeit to tease

In lieu of please,

To save from silence

Held for gratuitous reason!

“ Silence ” ~ for gratuitous impede ~

Why must I bide

Sounds of silence,

At times a blessing

Now likely chide,

Tho weary waiting                             

On verbosity,                                                          

Baring hint of life…

           

Might I propose

Shades composed,

Betwixt emptiness

Of passive silence,

And the tedium                                                              

Of prolix verbosity…

 

A word or more

I so implore

Even beneath

The aural norm,

If but to tease

In lieu of please,

Save impose silence

For gratuitous impede!
