"Through The Looking Glass..."

"Through The Looking Glass..."

its not silent - sitting here...
the thoughts run and run.
...the fingers can sit frozen -
but it isn't silent.

How do I say
what is and isn't -
where tomorrow will be
where i ...might - be.

Take a breath
it's sunrise, another

it's sunset.  Yesterday,
it rained and today tears fell.

and it's a world - out here
a place where people are
i breathe... and pause
...and it isn't silent...
here.

Wow. This is deep. And i think its true, complete silence is very very rare..
Our own thoughts are so loud..that even when we're alone..its like we carry a world with us..
A superb poem.

Very enjoyable read. You're writing is very lovely. I find the third stanza especially powerful! Very nice job!

Sometimes the silence is so very very loud... so very full and ecoing of all that ever was and all that will not be...

[White-Inked Pen]

Indeed. Well described.

It really never is silent is it? I feel so much loneliness when I read this..but not silence..
Wonderful piece

Lonely, but very beautiful in its sadness and the way it speaks, you speak. No its not quiet!
