The Silence Of Sounds Poem by Diana van den Berg

The Silence Of Sounds



It was the way
the night wind
broke up the silence
into pockets of longing;

and for solace
and understanding
her eyes caressed
the wall of books
all known and loved
on the other side
of her yellow-wooded desk;

and she filled the desolate silences
between the dirges
of the wind’s mournful singing,
with their beloved words.
