Free Verse: Spoken silence

Disconnected Connectedness

by Mrs. KT


What price pride, anger, and self-preservation?
                           <<<~~~>>>

The situation - incomprehensible 
The pain - unfathomable
The result - irreversible

Once again,
In the space of a pristine sunlit moment,
That will define all of your moments
Yet to come,
Your world has been shattered
With unspeakable turmoil
And darkness

It would be so easy. . .
But I can't

Part of me wants to. . .
But I won't

I could simply. . .

No. 

This time
I shall remain
Silent 

Yet, across the miles,
Upon a summer's sweet breeze,
In the soft whisper of the night wind,
I feel your sorrow,
I embrace your grief,
And I pray that somehow,
In the midst of such indescribable despair,
You will find
Comfort, Strength, and Faith

But I shall remain
Silent 

Connected in Spirit
Disconnected by Circumstances

Because. . .

The situation - incomprehensible
The pain - unfathomable
The result - irreversible

We are all connected by blood, by friendship, by life, even by technology. When that connectedness becomes disenfranchised or destroyed by anger, circumstance or choice, and tragedy intervenes, what then? Do we reach out to those who have committed injuries toward us and risk being injured again, or do we remain silent? diane kenel-truelove 6/24/08
