Words revival

about silence from a perspective of an old woman

  

Words revival

My words shatter

do I really need silence?

he was here one day

I listened to his last word

on that cold bed

he grew motionless

please speak

his words burst

 and scattered everywhere

I collected them all 

and buried them in my heart

words aren’t  worthless

they survive

 to remind us of past days

I seek hope in words

let me hear you 

through  that barrier 

that stole your soft voice

I sit here alone

on the edge of that same bed

all creatures

 calmly muted

and suddenly,

 my inner voice screams

live through words ,

 let them write the end of the story

words that I had buried  before 

can save me now

Ill speak to birds

I’ll learn their language

and the words that raindrops draw

 on the muddy streets

I’m going decipher  them all.

I’m going to destroy this silence

 until it swallows my last word .

words aren’t worthless
they survive
^good
on the edge of that same bed
^This line completes a sense of empathy or meaning for me.
Its a bleak and abrasive poem. But it has much personal meaning.
all creatures
calmly muted
^I like alot of the language used through out your poem.

I like this view on words, and their enduring qualities and tying it in to nature at the end was a great idea. A quick read because it was so enjoyable
