TOTAL SILENCE

Total silence feels so eerie

Like rain that falls when skies are dreary

My quietus will rebound

 

A flock of birds flight in precise

Their wings fold gold flow entice

As the rain medicines the ground

 

A warmth stretches across the distance

Like flames that flicker in mist trance

Where ballast chants are found

 

Grazed in thoughts perfumed wonder

The silent roar choked in thunder

As the white charge fucks on down

 

Hear again a distant roar

Challenging the heart even more

Like a lion, a scorpion, or clown

Total silence is the only sound
