I Hear Only The Silence Of Myself Poem by Shalom Freedman

I Hear Only The Silence Of Myself



I HEAR ONLY THE SILENCE OF MYSELF

I hear only the silence of myself
I listen and write
And it says to me,
‘Your words too can have rhyme and reason
if you only know how to be quiet with them’
And so I shout out at the page again
A fool of myself and my own need
A failure and a failure again
A silence anyway
Despite all my shouting.

Interesting how we writers are so desperate to milk out something worthwhile; then let us turn aside our attention for only a moment and something amazing is there knocking at our consciousness. The muse is truly like a cat..(smile)
