You Stay Silent

Resign from the whispers of the wind Wait no longer for the arrival of the new sun Black holes are all the voices contain Yield from praying to the white clouds Do not keep vigil for those who will never return You will only find the excrement of their lies Forsake the promises of long ago Do not draw breath from the dust of Angels You will only be left with a bad taste in your mouth Persist from standing on the shoulders of the tallest Give up from stealing another’s dreams Only a suffered awakening awaits you Stop listening to the words of those of us who have lost our minds… We only speak when you stay silent
