My World of Silence

Silence can be deafening, louder than any noise could make from this nightmare of loneliness, if I would only now awake my dreams are an escape, they provide me with some relief allowing me a distraction, for my mind to ignore my grief Dreaming of the sun and its warmth, true happiness I find understanding for the first time in my life, bliss of the blind only to awaken, and for this temporary recess to abandon once again reminded, of things that only know to sadden As the wind blows, its breeze is caught on my face yet despite the intensity, my tears it cannot erase the stillness of night, just continues to remind me being trapped in my loneliness, I can never be free My cries ride the wind, carrying them to a place unknown stirring my feelings, feelings that only the dejected bemoan and when the tears run out, it is clear that I did finally reach that bottomless pit called despair, whose borders I now breach Everything in this world, with its counterpart was it created without this, happiness would forever remain belated yet we become despondent that so many, alone do they exist hearts consumed by fire, emptiness that continually persists Where is the wisdom, and from where is the knowledge where can we understand, and come to acknowledge this world has a Creator, from whom everything comes into being whatever has been ordained for us, there can simply be no fleeing In the end, I find solace in the fact that it is never too late if we learn how to be patient, He rewards those willing to wait so do not give up hope, G-d saves with the blinking of an eye first put your faith in Him alone, and stop asking the reason why
