Deafened

I sit here in silence Pondering the blankness Or rather the impossible world The world that goes on for miles Never to be fully seen but told As life drowns itself out as it reaches you The talking and chattering The tv shows and books They are but ripples in a pond To hit you, another rock, to reflect another ripple. So I sit here in the relentless reverberations Feeling as if nothing has happened Only to be drowned out by the ripples that cancel out Always to wonder what is silence but the sound of too much noise January 30, 2016
