The Silence
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Can you hear the silence speak…
It has tiptoed in and spread itself out,
The city is shocked into quiet!

Without its pace, the city looks uncomfortable
Astounded , it quietly curls up.
Into a deep silence.

Can you hear the silence scream,
It weeps without words
The Wind carries its plight all over.

You chose to look at the golden sunshine, the blue skies, the chirping birds.
You tell me
That the World is looking for a new lease of life.

May the world live anew
May Creation live anew
May the troubled silent evening herald in a fresh new morning.
May the desolation give birth to greater humanitarianism

While Hope and Despair keep alternating in my mind
Suddenly I remember…
The silent sun dappled hill track
Is still waiting just for us
For our promised tea and tete a tete.
