Where Is Silence? Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Where is silence?
Tuesday,24th December 2019

The silence looms large
i have come here to urge
the departed souls to speak
and strengthen my weak conscience

what had they experienced?
and pronounced
their verdict during existence
were they happy or remained tense?

why is here complete silence?
are you not talking each other at once?
why you prefer calm and peace?
make me understand about the life at an ease

the dry leaves fly away
and calmly stay on the ground
no joy is found around them
no worries and no concern

i find this place very much safe
no jealousy for any race
not to feel hard for any cause
just choose your way and remain silent

Hasmukh Mehta
