The Silence

The clearing in the center of the ancient forest
My world, where I danced and sang my words
Flying free to the highest heights unrestrained
Each letter, intonation, a product of divine soul
Freeing sparks of holiness from below to Above
This was my Garden of Eden, sweetest eternity
 
What happens when Heaven falls to The Silence?
 
Silence viciously smothered Words and Music
Brought Paradise to desolate, apocalyptic ruins
Frozen ashes fell from the gray, opaque heavens
Impossible to run, each step weighted with pain
Such as to make a soul beg for its’ eternal rest
Perhaps it is better to surrender, to just fall down
 
Victorious, The Silence reigned unchallenged
 
As Words, Music and I lay dormant under grief
Purest sorrow transversed all universes
There was no world, timeline, heaven or hell
The Silence did not savagely violate, shatter
Strangled, unable to sing a single note of song
Where words flowed free, now vast emptiness  
 
The Silence choked every breath, stole my life
 
The skies spun gunmetal relentlessly, hopelessly
Dawn to dusk I died wide awake, automaton  
Nightfall was my saving grace, I was so alive
Words and Music visited me, colors so brilliant
Letters soared, arranged with melodies sacred
Mine til my soul reunited with me, then vanished
 
Nothing remained of me- I became The Silence
