Silence Poem by Kevin Carney

Silence…
I know now that is the best…
Maybe I would never have believed it…
Now it’s starting to become clear to me…
A chance to redeem myself…
Gather the feeling of the day…
Silence…
You never got back to me…
I think you’re trying to make it easy for me…
The doubts I started to bear…
Finally I am starting to realize how true they can be…
Silence…
Maybe it’s a breath of fresh air…
To give me a chance to see you…
In a light that I needed to see…
Only now it’s something I didn’t want to see…
Silence…
In a way I should take your lead…
To sit away from the temptation and frustration…
Maybe then I can better understand my way…
And now take the chance to be set free…
Silence…
I can walk through those empty streets…
Alone I might be but, in a way…
The loss I feel, the sadness, I start to overcome
Walking ever so carefully, into the light of the day...
