silence

Somewhere along the way 
we lost ourselves 
and no one noticed
and now it's gone.

Here we are, it's all 
falling into place, 
and someone noticed 
but no one dared 
to utter a sound.

The silence threatens
to engulf our beating hearts;
the clock stands still, the
shutters close, the doors
are slammed, the dogs 
are sleeping and the
whole wide world lies quiet.

Listen to the silence:
listen as if it is the music
that your soul is craving,
wait until your heart 
stops beating, mind is
breathing, soul is living,
breath is giving life to
mine.
