Silence Winds

Shared with: http://onesingleimpression.blogspot.com/


Today, these days, the air feels thin
A change nears, the silence is deafening
Words are not spoken, the evening seems close by


For there is no word 
That can carry such sensing 
To describe in true magnitude of what lingers


But no one says, so even in distance lands 
Where once enemies were made of one 
Old friends sits with apprehension


What are we to do, when the time comes
What are we to say, in time passing
Yet we know, we are only mortal 


And the only immortality that can be offered 
Is by name, the body is fragile, this body is weak 
But this is a giant in the forest, a silver back


So we will all notice his absence
Yet he is only mortal,
So we seat in silence, wary


For no word is strong enough 
To carry emotions felt 
To relive the soul of such burden


Of this apprehension, in sadness 
The lonely heart feels
Even before giants fall, 


Rivers of tears, that runs deep in souls
Know they will soon be called upon
To rain down, on the sight of man, in last rights

But for now we hold on
This is our fight with mortality
This is our fight to keep our grandfathers
