A Silent Relationship Poem by Francis Duggan

A non speaking relationship is with one by sight you know
Though not any form of recognition between you does show
Between you and him or her it is never good evening, night or good day
You both pass by in silence with nothing to say
They have never harmed you in any way
Yet he or she pass you in silence and for their silence them you repay
Is this a karmic connection or what might it be
Or is the fault for this a flaw that is in me?
Yet people who greet me with a cheerful hello
Are people that I do feel happy to know
Where-ever I do see them in the park or the street
They are people I do feel happy to meet
But a silent relationship I have with a few
Though to that some might say tell us something that's new.
