Silence

Do not break the silence Do not make the noise Do not shatter the emptiness With all the things that annoy Let me be engulfed in silence Let me be submerged in quiet Do not ruin my stillness with your incessant riot Go away and leave me In my own quiet space Let me be alone I prefer this quiet place

about your poem: i long for silence, how I love your poem..i wish I could make of shirt with your poem, telling all to leave me alone... yes I am surrounded by peeps 24 hours a day. maybe that is why I have writers block who know.. this world makes me dizzy. I hate the way I never get to feel the stillness.... excellent poem... a perfect 7... LUV~ LINDA
