I am the silence

I am the silence

Not the one wrapped with meanings

Not the one filled with 

deep underlying connections

I am the silence,

When they run out of topics

In a cozy dinner party,

Linger

Waiting for someone

To see, feel, soothe

Waiting for one loving glance

For one knowing smile

But i am the silence

creeping between everyone

When for a moment

They run out of their pleasures

I am the silence they notice

For whiskers before

Something new comes in

Something interesting

And i fade into oblivion 

I am the silence

Who in silence

Builds my dreams in those

Unbeliveably tiny moments

And watch them come down

With mighty crash 

Time after time

I want to yell, to scream at the face of world

I am here

But i am the silence

Thank you for this poem flying dreams. Silence can be awkward or powerful. Both.
