Silence

Take me away from this land of bliss

For this weary heart of mine finds no rest

This land of smiles and greetings

Have no appeal unto my heartless bosom

For happiness is like a whip of misery

Afflicting my flesh endlessly

Far, far away a land of silence awaits

Oh, take me there where no honey drips

Where no melodious song echo and shatter

Like mirrors of a forgotten face

Hellos and Goodbyes fill these chambers

Take me to the land of silence

Silence, a dark beauty; an entity

She utters not a word and yet we hear

The monotonous pounding of our hearts

She loves not and yet we love

The noise and life her absence offers

We children of light are lost in her darkness
