The Poetic Word

Whispers

“Whispers become louder when there is silence.”

Everyone may be around in the celebration

Of life.

When time passes…

There will be silence.

The one that cuts air in any room.

The silence that is like a shadow being that stares at you

From the corner of the room.

 

Call it by its name…

Silence.

Silence…

Silence after everyone has left.

Where community played its role

And went back to their lives.

What is left behind ….

Is silence.

 

The silence that sends shivers down

The spine.

That silence that can surpass the

Surface laughter and smiles..

how silence can be masked with fake joy.

Silence.

 

Self reflection silence differs from

The silence caused by grief.

Losing a part of you

Is restarting a whole new life,

A life that no one seems to understand.

 

To go through the different stages.

Denial, bargaining, resentment and anger

Before acceptance.

The stagnant state where all is like

A blur.

 

Whispers become louder

When there is silence.

Being mentally trained is the way

Before crashing out becomes

An option.
