How? Poem by Nosheen Irfan

How?

Rating: 5.0

How could I take your silence
When even the wind makes
The window rattle
The leaves rustle
The grass hiss
How could I take your silence
In silence
When every word is meant
To be heard, to be brooded over
Like the text of a book
Written with tears.

Magnificent, Nosheen. At times, tears can carry power that is beyond the capabilities of ink.

TWO: Silence is a very strict case especially when it concerns a person. The words go deeper than is the case. I do hope that you have found a solution
