Silence curses this world <br />Empty words flow like a river <br />Blown away but a whisper of wind <br />No more is the sunset described, <br />In a Story or a poem <br />Or even a sentence <br />One useless, one empty word is used instead <br />Beautiful. <br />Such word means little to this world <br />Spoken with such frequency <br />The meaning is lost <br />Not many things are simply Just beautiful <br />You may find this harsh <br />You may condemn me as harsh <br />But I speak truth <br />People are so careless with words <br />A simple misplaced word can break a heart or even kill someone <br />If asked to describe a sunset <br />What word will come up? <br />Most would chose beautiful and think that good enough <br />But what about colorful, magical <br />There are so many words unused <br />So many other colors in the rainbow <br />How would you describe a knife? <br />As Dangerous, or a weapon? <br />What about Protective, or stained <br />So many words are out there <br />Lost to all eyes and ears <br />And instead we are sent into silence <br />And it is silence <br />That fills this empty air.<br /><br />Abby Sowers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silence-216/
