Symphony

The beads of silence drop
Into reality pallid
Breaking the monotony of silence
Hushing it with streaks
Of silenced hushes
A symphony of silence
The world of Beethoven
And music to the mundane
Ears.

Silence
Is golden

Silence
Is a solution
Solve silence
Silence silence
And collect the
Gold.

Use the solvent
Solve silence,
Resolute silence
Resolve it
Make it a solution

The beads of silence drop
Like a hammer
A judge’s sentence
Death
Deaf…

Bereft of sound
Noise maybe

But
The world
To Beethoven
And music
To ears
Deaf.

Silence
So silent
Salient

Silence the silent questions
Wreaking havoc
In the sinews of my brain
A silent thunderstorm
Of silence
Brewing up
And stirring
Further silence

Beethoven
Silence my silence
And question my questions
Put me to bed

Silence is golden
Silence is death
Death is deaf
Deaf is death

Free me from silence
The beads of silence
Drop away the beads
Of silence

And fill it with more
Silence

Let me reap the gold of death

"silence the silent questions..wreking havoc....In the sinews of my brain..a silent thunderstorm? Gifted....Why? Because it moves even the empty or barren to consider what is being said here. This should be painted. I saw with my eyes what you were saying. Well written and thought provoking. A piece of art.

[Hannah Paige]

the phrasing and repetition flows nicely

[asdarkeyesclose]

and silence so resonates we feel the quiet consciousness of the earth...i liked where you took this and the repetitions.

[Yari Garcia (Older Prof..]

Wow, you are really great with poetry! Don't ever stop writing!

I like the repetition in this poem in that it strings together words really well and your eyes just leap from one word to the next. I like that it connects ideas and thoughts together in such a way that is very, cohesive.
