Then And Then Poem by Priyadarsini G Menon

Then, silence became my world
Laughter strangled in silence
Love stumbled in silence
Hope sank in silence
Dreams faded in silence
Along came chitter-chatter, voice of hope
Filling silence with words,
Words they remained
Drowning silence with deeds past,
Past they remained
Painting silence with colours of life,
Faded they remained
Driving silence with screams of laughter,
Screams they remained
Disconnect of words with deeds begs return
To silence, hope of peace, some quiet truth.
