Talking Silence Poem by CHRISTOPHER MUDIENYI

TALKING SILENCE
When silence talks the deaf hear,
When silence talks, even the dumb listen,
When silence talks, you don't have to fear,
When silence talks, the slow hasten,

The talking silence is so loud,
This talking silence is quite loud,
The silence that is deafening,
This silence is threatening,
It deafens them that don't listen,
It threatens them that don't hasten,
It hastens those that need to freshen,
Freshen their minds for the silence,
This long spell of silence that so silent,
To the keen there is no silence,
Yet it appears so damn silent,
But to my kin it is very loud silence,
It's speaking to me, the steady me,
