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 ......................................................................
