A Thought Poem by Connie Wine

Silence comes from within a soul that is at war
war with the pain that is indescribable
the idea of living without understanding
words spoken or written

Solitude is not always just loneliness
loneliness is not always felt by those who are alone
spirits of this realm or the next
do they feel pain or loneliness

Pain that is felt emotionally
fester within the deepest part of our souls
growth is stunted and love is suffocated
for pain is a greedy emotion

Once there is no longer a need for war
within or without
souls will be free again
to break free from the realm of solitude

Once language becomes understood
no matter who speaks it
pain will begin to let go
and solitude will no longer be lonely

Silence, pain, solitude, fear
thirst, hunger, hatred, prejudice
will have lost their battle
