Symphony

Symphony

A Poem by ShameemAkhtar

The beads of silence drop
Into reality pallid
Breaking the monotony of silence
Hushing it with streaks
Of silenced hushes
A symphony of silence
The world of Beethoven
And music to the mundane
Ears.


Silence
Is golden


Silence
Is a solution
Solve silence
Silence silence
And collect the
Gold.


Use the solvent
Solve silence,
Resolute silence
Resolve it
Make it a solution


The beads of silence drop
Like a hammer
A judge’s sentence
Death
Deaf…


Bereft of sound
Noise maybe

But
The world
To Beethoven
And music
To ears
Deaf.


Silence
So silent
Salient


Silence the silent questions
Wreaking havoc
In the sinews of my brain
A silent thunderstorm
Of silence
Brewing up
And stirring
Further silence


Beethoven
Silence my silence
And question my questions
Put me to bed


Silence is golden
Silence is death
Death is deaf
Deaf is death


Free me from silence
The beads of silence
Drop away the beads
Of silence


And fill it with more
Silence


Let me reap the gold of death

"silence the silent questions..wreking havoc....In the sinews of my brain..a silent thunderstorm? Gifted....Why? Because it moves even the empty or barren to consider what is being said here. This should be painted. I saw with my eyes what you were saying. Well written and thought provoking. A piece of art.

It amazes me that someone who can't hear can create the most beautiful symphonies in all of history. You captured Beethoven perfectly! Nicely done. A piece of art, indeed.

Silence and the watcher of silence. One is of a greater excitable disposition than the other. Nice write!

Devouring silence & allowing silence to be devoured..... I enjoyed this, ingenious.
