I HEAR ONLY THE SILENCE OF MYSELF <br /> <br />I hear only the silence of myself <br />I listen and write <br />And it says to me, <br />‘Your words too can have rhyme and reason <br />if you only know how to be quiet with them’ <br />And so I shout out at the page again <br />A fool of myself and my own need <br />A failure and a failure again <br />A silence anyway <br />Despite all my shouting.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-hear-only-the-silence-of-myself/
