Silence Poem by Arvind Srivastava

You broke the silence after years

The fragrance of your handkerchief

Like the sweat of a laborer was spreading in the air

Perhaps you wiped the tears of a crying child

The moon and stars came to earth to wish you good night

I had a conversation with them

Everyone was surprised

A river nearby which was lying dry

Suddenly it was taking me away in a flood

Perhaps a glacier had melted somewhere

When you broke the silence

The world had changed

All the stars and planets!
