this sudden silence

[fledgist]

this sudden silence comes to us as pain

no one is present who can see each turn

take note of anger watch the spirit burn

 

there's nothing left that we need to retain

of these old lessons yet we have to learn

this sudden silence comes to us as pain

 

year after year just so the sight is plain

and no old memories are left to churn

in empty hearts that do not cease to yearn

this sudden silence comes to us as pain
