SILENT REFLECTIONS
Lifes long silence dwells in the unending white noise
that echoes constantly beneath what others see
nothing changes and my wanderings take me no where
so I remain still, I remain frozen in time
expression curtailed and dissenters silenced
how can I suppress a nascent uprising and
avoid the muteness of the night that causes
such deafening of my senses
silence they say the virtue of fools
silence they say more eloquent than words
silence they say is permission whilst others
say silence is golden
so enter now the speaker intended, that sets the truth free
enter now and ripple through the white noise
breaking the unending silence of despair
that has carried me thus far to a strange place
let not the silence be the resistance that strangles
just let me be silent in your presence
and hear beyond the walls of white noise
that seeks to drown out the
and let silence speak so that all falsehood is mute
and arouse all the representation of the
reflection of the heart that images the most high
