Silence

Silence
Seeps in through the
Fine interstices of 
Our ephemeral essence so
Slowly.

And then 
It spreads its plume
Calmly over our soul,
Soothing the corners of our mind
Gently.

It mends
Two broken hearts
And speaks volumes in ways
That a million verses fail to
Express.

Silence
Is cogent than
The strongest arguments
But, it can inflict deeper wounds
Unseen.

And when,
The embers die
At last, the only sound
that resonates is nothing but
Silence.
