Silence
Silence came from long ago
It hit like a tidal wave the story goes
Stealing the voices of those who talk too much
Rewarding those whose tongues are reigned
Silence came on the first day of autumn
It came from nowhere & was forgotten
Those who remember it's visit were touched by its withered coiled finger
The echoes of silence still lingers
Be weary my loose mouthed friends
For silence is a vengeful fiend
Stealing your tongue in the blink of an eye
Leaving you to sorrow in silence.
