Arthur Vaso Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

Kiss of Silence

River flows in December's cold
Water black like the darkest breeze
Silence invites me, I hear so clear
Drowning away all my pain and fear

Dusk to dawn
I walk along
That road that silence brings
Kissing death and waiting ever so

For my final breath to cease
As the river flows

Carole Duet December 11, 2017 at 10:30 PM I feel your pain, Art, just behind my eyes where the tears hide and as I hold them at bay I try not to listen too closely to the silence that living alone brings. I pray your deep dark pit of grief ends soon. In the meantime, hold someone's hand....
