Silence! Poem by Indrajit Chattopadhyay

Mute universe mused unbound,
Emotions ran free in abundance;
Then came the words, and -
Death of communication.

We gifted feelings,
Free to emote gay pleasure;
Then came language, and -
Death of communication.

All the words of lexicon, together,
Fails -
To cover,
A single ripple,
In a puddle of emotions.

A moment of silence
Covers the ocean.

Sitting on the shore of universe,
I string the beads -
Of shared Silence!
