Terry L. Allen Poet Narrative

Silence

Silence can be deafening 
or scream so loud it hurts your ears.
Silence can bring peace and quiet
a space in time to slow down
and change gears. 
Silence can be torture 
filling one with fear. 
Silence can be loves waiting game
causing pain and tears.
Silence can say so many things 
it can even confirm your worst fears.
Silence can do many things,
except it can't see the tears it can't hear.


Kash was my muse for this poem with his Haiku My Voice.

Terry O'Leary May 22, 2012 at 4:16 AM When silence reigns, sorrow rains... beautiful feelings... wonderful poem... Terry Terry L. Allen May 22, 2012 at 5:56 AM We used to have a saying up north in the upper US at sad times that went like this. The silence is so loud in here that I can hear myself think.
