* In The Silence *

User Rating:

9.9 /10

  Who will we see, what words
will we speak..... will touching
the sky open the eyes
to free our minds....releasing
child that roams inside.

Will the dreams of our youth
...........be handed with truth
Where sleep no longer exists.

Will the prayers that we shared
lead us to stairs, where gardens
bloom with bliss.

Will we meet with a kiss
the hearts that we've missed
through years of questions...of why.

Will we finally feel
............................the hand as we kneel

In the silence..........That closed our eyes.

the child that roams inside is the one we try to hide.
he is there to show the way,
so that we will not stray.

I love this poem, theres much of an untouched feeling in it... a universal understanding that kind of lives in our outreaching conscience. Very meaningful and inspiring.

What a touching and elevated verse, Jon..Your poems never disappoint and bring new colours and hues into our life..Thanks for sharing. Yelena M.

...child that roams inside...'

Indeed a great poem. But to be child or to release we've to shed off our [-] ves thro' pure conscience. And it is a rigorous sustained psychic exercise.
I find good thoughts always from your poems JON

in the silence
where no one talks
and no one hears
in the silence......
nuisance...justice prevails, justice denied
