Silence

April 6th

Day 6

Silence

I can’t remember all the times

that I have sat in silence.

Silent tears, Silent sobs.

The silence can be deafening

when you are all alone.

No one to turn to.

Silent is the way my heart feels

too much pain has filled it up.

Silent are my eyes to the agony

of tears that need to fall.

Silent are my ears

To the call of silence in my soul.

I live in silence

It is all that I know.

I remember music

Music that filled my heart

Music that was so beautiful

I rejoiced!

Where is the music now?

I stand in the silence

I want it to go

Hopefully,

someday,

The silence

will be gone.

In the cool breeze

Of the morning sun

Sits the raven.

His eyes flickering back and forth

like a serpent

getting ready to strike.

Watching

Waiting

seeing everything.

Biding his time.

To put his curse

upon mankind.

Because He knows

the first human that

sets eyes on him today

      will die.

Here sits the Raven.

He knows he is death.

He’s watching

for you

to take your last breath.
