Murmured voices from another room <br />Hushed in traditional reverence <br />Mourning in silence the English way <br />Awkward conversations of time lost <br />Cobwebs too deep to reconcile bonds <br />Neglected, fading, faded, life goes on <br />Life within, is life without love or pain <br />Whispered words of feigned connection <br />Cucumber sandwiches a must, box ticked <br />Memories referred to yet never explored <br />We will meet again when numbers fall <br />Worn out glances at the clock <br />Sadness a duty performed in silence <br />Inside each mind a myriad reasons <br />To avoid the moment, go too deep <br />What is life – where is death? <br />Cursed are those who mourn for duty <br />Blessed are those who discern the difference <br />Murmured voices from another room fade.<br /><br />Adrian Wait<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/murmured-voices/
