Silence

Silence hides a multitude of feelings.
Behind the deceptive tranquil facade
lie emotions, many and varied.
Emotions,
restless like the confined winds,
raging as though to break all barriers,
gushing to end all boundaries.
But, Silent.

No one knows and no one can know
the untold feelings, blazing within.
Searing to unknown heiights.
but, unheard and unseen.

Myriad emotions play havoc with the soul,
taking it apart.
The mind wanders in the labyrinth
of emotions, lost and writhing in agony.
But not a look, not a word
and not a sigh.
Silent is the suffering
and silent is the eternal battle
beween the heart and mind.

Silent are the words
that 'looks' can speak.
Words which hover on lips
wanting desperately to come out
but held back,
by an unreasonable fear.
A fear that eats upon our minds
gnawing at our souls, silently.

But how long can silence last?
How long can silence sustain hope?
Eventually the torrent of feelings come rushing out.
Feelings suppressed for aeons
all come tumbling out.
Sudden and random
in quick expression.
Confused and uncertain
in their new expression.

Shocking is this erruption
shocking in its suddeness
in its intensity
in its source.

And then it subsides
as abruptly as it had risen.
leaving behind not a trace
not a sign but the ETERNAL SILENCE.
