Silence

Forever takes an instant to end
And cacophony turns to silence in a snap.
Silence.
What am I to do with all this silence?
The memories hover
but the thoughts are silent.
The mouth speaks
but the tongue is silent.
Aggression boils
but anger is silent.
The clock ticks
but the time is silent.
The eyes see
but the vision is silent.
The images reflect
but the insight is silent.
The light resonates
but the sunshine is silent
The dreams ache
but the want  is silent.
My affection writhes in agony
but mockingly Love is  silent.
The waves crash
but the winds are silent.
The smiles are aplenty
but heartfelt laughter is silent
The night is a blitzkrieg
but the stars are silent
The companionship is merry
but trust is silent.
The heart's taking a victory leap
but the soul though, is tragically silent.
Silence.
What am I to do with all this silence?
