Silence in D Minor

What you are to me, I'll never be.

I'll compose a ballad of silence;

in D minor the sound of nothing
rings out loud for two long minutes;

clear in tone, pure in meaning,

and blank lyrics will be voiced;

I'll frame an empty painting;

colours spread by the brush

dipped in the pigments of air;

shades illuminate in darkness,

and the light will hide all;

I'll become a true nothing;

the air that suffocates I inhale

in greedy gasps of waste;

yet in this quiet and hollow image

I'm more than you can ever be;

Author's Note

Silence. I don't have words for this work. I love how you capture things even beyond the scope of the minutiae. We have to look beyond existence to understand works like this.

Or maybe explore the dimensions of existence. You know you put this in me to want to be able to express things better. Yet I'm sure you'll put this even better. ;)

Why speak if silence says so much more.
