You Silence Poem by RIC BASTASA

i would like to believe
in your silence you preach it
between us
sometimes i think it must
be your nature
born to it and shall die with it
you are promising
in your life's career but
there is this silence that i
cannot understand
what for? so we may listen?
we have been trying to listen?
but you do not find
value in the use of words or
even symbols

i accept you brother,
there must be reasons of your heart
that our hearts do not know
i agree with you brother
in silence perhaps there is a cure
for this disease
whatever that is
i make a promise
we love you and we accept
whatever you are
wherever you are.
