Silence

Silence is golden
unless this sad quietude
is coming from you.


[Wrote this for a GR friend, who sometimes disappears for long stretches, and I liked it enough to post here, cause it often applies to many people I know, who go quiet (or even disappear altogether) from the online ranks. I thought other poets and readers might empathize.]
