Mute to words of reason, <br />Lost intention gropes <br />Dim in the memory <br />Of a past forbidden love and hope <br />That seem forever lost... <br /> <br />Echoes still persist, <br />Repeating the message <br />Delivered by suggestion <br />In the deafness of language... <br /> <br />Empty, empty canyons <br />Make louder wanting sounds <br />And their silent ways <br />Become vivid footprints <br />Of mindful grounds... <br /> <br />Tunes ardently played once, <br />Impressing within her ears, <br />The sphere of sound <br />That now she cannot longer hear... <br /> <br /> <br />©All Rights Reserved-2012<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sound-of-silence-12/
