This poem is inspired by the contest "When Silence Speaks", but missed the timeline.
Uncanny inexplicable silence surrounds me unexpectedly,
when in the centre of a noisy demanding crowd,
every bit of sound evaporates, fades in total darkness,
people around me, familiar and unfamiliar ...
I perceive them in action - laugh, or converse,
watch their bodies moving,
contours of their faces changing
synchronizing with their voices,
but their gestures are illegible movements to me.
don't catch a word they say....
complete silence envelops my mind,
just watch some silent characters in a highly emotive drama!
When silence speaks to me among a roomful of visitors,
not leaving, I disappear from the place...
my absence doesn't create any void,
saffron imagination dawns on my dreamy eyes,
I am on top of a mysterious mountain where
a chartreuse waterfall descending with roaring noise
on the coral rocks,
halcyon water mirrors the serene emerald sky!
When silence speaks to me,
I imagine strolling on a harmonious village-path,
which meanders to unknown,
grass spectacular green, velvety soft,
and soothing, the tender touch of a doting mother
on her baby! mystifying sky leans on and whispers to me,
as if it has found its trustful confidant,
in that beautiful unperturbed silence, I only speak
to my own heart, which throbs pining
for a soul who had deserted me many years ago!
