For the contest Silence Listens sponsored by Craig Cornish
there are gaps, in sound
grand pauses - the intentional evocateur!
demonstrating that resonant pulse
~ how more bounces back from absence
we are the preordained silence
on a sea of sound, we are carried away
yet, dropped into the ocean -
our lives overwhelm us
drowning as we exist in one, held, breath
until sound plucks us out - saves us
the truth is - silence can pull us under
waiting is its placation
whilst we strive to never linger
beneath sound is not death
just the open mind in crescendo
the whole self, present
experiencing all that ever reverberated
in an eternity of thought
so we gasp for air
and tap our fingers a little longer
hoping all those echoes
won't haunt us
