.silent Is Silver.

If silver is expensive
expensive is lost
lost is silence 
silence is silver

the silver silence covers 
my lost lips
my lips are silent 
my lips are silver
silver is silent

the silver silence 
bounds my wrists 
together
my wrists are
silver
my wrists are silent
silent is silver

silence is silver 
lost in silence 
expensive is lost
is silver expensive?

Very interesting write here Ana ... the young lady I know spells her name Anna and lives here in Eugene, Oregon. She probably hates me because I don't take any b.s. from her ... smile ... and, I'm an old lady and lots of young people have "problems" with old people but thats okay, we can't all be Ms. Popularity ... smile ... this is a very interesting write you've done here!! I love silence and try to spend as much time in it as I can ... there's too much noise in this world ... smile ...
