John Gilman Poet Rhyme

A Sky Painted In Silence

 not a single bird chirped in trees
nor did the winds whisper to me
clouds passed by with no refrain
twilight's sky but a noiseless sea

no crickets to announce eventide
nor did waves crash on the beach
the stars spoke not a single word
tho it seemed they were in reach

bleak hues of black existed there
in the voiceless world's reticence
once you left you took my sound
leaving me
a
sky
painted
with
silence

John Gilman January 1, 2022 at 5:51 PM Thank you so much! This is a fav of mine. Written a few months ago, it did well on the other site I belong to. Something like 6 top 3 ribbons and was featured as one of their special front page picks. So, I am very, very pleased that you liked it, my friend!
