Silence

a poem by Kalashree Selvarajah

I enjoy birds chirping in the silence of dawn
I listen to the conscience in the silence of my mind
I watch snow flakes in the silence of night
I hear your voice in the silence of my heart!

Justice suffers in the silence of truth
Death occurs in the silence of life
Peace surrounds you in the silence of thoughts
Love blossoms in the silence of hearts!

Wounded heart is longing for silence
Tired of waiting for the loved one in vain
Show the path where there is no pain
All I ask for the eternal silence!
