Silent In the Moonlight
We sat sunk, silent, staring the moonlight.
The new year's weather; whether cool or cold
Muddled in the day by survival fight,
We couldn't decipher and say it bold.
Ourselves we found in one another's shoes
Tied by the day's sorrows in a state — trance
Pleading with death for an eternal truce
We hoped that tomorrow brings a new chance.
Next another, silent, thinking besides:
Will this novel year bring bile or candy?
Years afore, drown in misery Nile's size
We hoped the new season be just lovely.
Wordless though, yet we heard what was not said
Because our silence spoke a million words.
