A Soundless Clamor

A soundless clamor in my brain
Imperceptible of ear
Yet loud – as of an avalanche
That gathers mighty speed

Punctuated by the stillness
That breathes within the room
– A gale wind at its climax
Could signify such doom

Minor dins have surfaced
Have sounded and have passed
Have left a hollow legacy
Of weighted emptiness 

Reverberates their echo
Mad breaking at the shore
Whose pounding sure, persistent
Still beats upon my door –
