Silent One

S Silent One suggests poetry as therapeutic endeavour

I ‘Is there a special place where the ink flows forever …’

L ‘Like pain placed in a paper bag scattered like a dead man’s ashes’

E Engraved on the tombstone of poems and fictional flashes

N No need for cremation for ink on paper from a deep fountain

T Teases sorrow pleasure and wisdom to reach for the mountain


O ‘Only the moon understands’ that lunar eclipses fade away

N ‘Nature’s pallet has turned my golds to grey’ but I will stay

E Ending what I started while having lived in meaningful replay
