The Color of Silence Is White

THE COLOUR OF SILENCE IS WHITE



The whiteness of the milk
Soothes the baby’s crying
The unblemished paper of a letter
Not written, says snothing
White lilies at funerals
Invite no one to speak
Clouded bubbles at the Titanic’s plunge
Hide no sounds below
Arctic emptiness of ice
Reaches out to no creature
Snow clad landscape echoes
Nothing from the woods
