Silence envelopes my world tonight. <br />Quiet asserts itself, mists my sky <br />And lies heavy. Stars are dull, blighted <br />By gloom, and like them I cannot rely <br />On clear light. Your love has now flouted <br />My own, surrounded by doubt, before <br />Long I shall be hoarse by this shouting <br />At quiet. You are gone, and I am alone. <br />As silence reigns, my grief is showing.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silence-reigns-2/
