silence
the elusive god
dissipates into
words tumble
endlessly
pointlessly
float aimlessly
the danger
of silence
getting louder
more disturbing
threatening
silence
the fear
of the unspoken.
Notes
A poem I wrote shortly after returning to Ontario after 13 years in Northern BC. A short poem on the power of silence. I tightened up a couple of lines before putting it back up on the site.
