Will Silences Not Speak? Poem by sundaram chandrakalaadhar

WILL SILENCES NOT SPEAK..?



&



will silences not speak? -

if they have spoken..

why then these queries,

'why is he not speaking? '-



when even his own voice

has become alien to himself

seriously doubts he his own utterances-



have we not seen the dust

settling slowly, steadily and uniformly

on glittering surfaces-

likewise silly thoughts on his heart-



in the prolonged hours of wintry nights

are we not familiar with dew pearls

sitting prettily holding hands snugly

on the palms of the leaves?

likewise are not my dumb words?



but when and which sun would translate

my voiceless words into audible realities?
