Silence

A moment in peace
A moment alone
Where we gather the emptiness
And translate it to wonder
At the sound of voices
Echoing somewhere unseen
Unheard but in your head
Things unwanted
Things unsaid
Of the possibility
The maybe and the why not
Sun draining away the light
Pain seems like a distant reality
Fresh cut into glass
Mirrored yet unseen
A valuable jewel in mine eye
Wonder therefore a shade away
Fades on wings
Burning yet smooth on skin
A touch too many
An agony too much
Drink it in slowly
Like hemlock
Laid in dust to lie
Dreams to ashes
Ashes to dust
Dust to life?
Brown earth stained red
Silence deafens
Contradictions arise
Things to fill the void
Never satisfy
But linger silently
In the dark
