The Silent Man

Wind blows
but silent still shows
birds fly with there flapping wings
but silent still shows
sunsets on crashing waves of ocean
but silent still shows
smiling laughter of loving and family get together's
but silent still shows
crying and sad emotions weeping
silent still shows
music for claps of happiness
silent still shows
loving my mother always
but still silent shows
stars and moon above
my silent always shows.

Hey guys, this poem is about my late cousin, he couldn't speak because he was autistic. Though words wasn't his way of expressing, his eyes/ears/hands/heart speaks on the same level if not more. He passed away around 4 years ago, he was in his early 30's. I writ this for his mother and hesitated to share it with the world. Glad some of you liked it though :-)

Is this the silence of emptiness? No response to what is going on? Is this another state of a lost mind? The echoes are there.
