Silent Colors Poem by soren Barrett

White silence peaceful and calm,
where cotton clouds float,
on the running river of time a psalm
sculpts meaning without a note

Red silence paints birthing skies
regurgitating a morning sun
spilling blood as it dies
when day is done

Age's yellowing fear
drools phlegm on a quiet cloth
bleeding stain of a tear
drips through holes made by a moth

Blue is the music of silence
as it falls in freezing rain
tearing each heart with violence
from solitary pain

Silence now black
fills fetid sewers of time
putting hope with a dog and monkey in a sack
thrown into the river Thyme
