the world is silent

The cold stone, The words on the tombstone
a sad 3 lines to speak of a lifetime
the voice that sang of beauty and pain
the voice now stilled echoing only in the brain

And god stood still
The angels were silenced
as they witnessed the mute plea
of the deafening atrocity

Looking on in a wrath so bitter
the raging seas were struck still
the world frozen in time
not a pin could drop
no more blood would spill
when the world in silence does stop

the government and the execution
the end of a dictator
no more would his voice dictate
silence!! the court proclaims: guilty!

A far a lovers plea,
A still silent childless mother
dried up eyes and a face marked with sorrowful tear
the mouth will remain shut
for deaf is the world besot with fear

A million widows and a trillion orphans
a hungry billion and a dying zillion
a hopeful expectant hundred thousand
a still happy thousand
a waking ten hundreds
yawning in the morning light of a hundred suns
have all in common a single silence

A lone single silent
A prayed not even whispered
And delivered a beauty, words can not do
a silent tree bearing its agony

A gentle breeze in silence reassuring
and soft touch that only in silence can endure
remember the silent tombstone
for into that silence he world shall fade

A painting in still solemn quiet
a story read in just your mind
A smile in passing said more than a simple word
And atlast when nothing remains silence knows your there

And a poem that lays no form still in silence said
what a world of words can never believe
Silence! The world is silent.
