Silence

Silence

Sudden silence!
No sound…
I move forward
Leaves crackle, shattered.
Pause for their demise.

Breathless, wait;
Silence.

Pounding louder
Heart bursts forth
But
No sound.

Stillness, still
Thoughts explode
Run rampant round
Catch them, quick
For silence.

Shuddering calm,
Breathless wait,
Frozen wave
Crash-loud moment soon.

Currents eddy,
Leaves murmur,
Wind stirring heart-thoughts.
Breathless, wait
…gone.
Chaos howls on.
