Symphony of Silence

the colour of silence, 

a middle school detention.

the colour of silence, 

a blooming affection.

As bright as a blue 

shining diamond,

as dim as the sweet

mourning dove. silver

white songs and tear

jerking love. silence is

ash, rising above

shattered gold jars

and attic doors creaking,

and yet, pent up shrills

grasping for death.
