SPEAKING IN SILENCE {An Original Poetry} Day 73

eternity is but a fraction of time
like a dotted in faded in a line
we're like the dripping of rain,
On the tender bossom of the earth
but just a breath away, from ebbing into oblivion.
we're the toads in the pond, croaking in pain.
blood stains and dried tears, unwashed by beautiful words
like the desperate wailing in the deep for help

We're crustaceans In amphibian zone
looking for salvation on the wrong path
visiting the burning sun for a bath
bun silently dying with desperate shrieks
our wailing are like supersonic sounds
but the world is a premeditatedly deaf
ignorantly knowing your midnight travails

We're scorpions caught in a hook
drop of tears found on a book
Mute as a disoriented pack of scattered ant
but the air is a racist, washing away,
cries and wails of a soul thirsty for solace
we're sojourner without limbs
struggling to buckle our lace
on a quest to unmaze more questions

like desperate tortoise chased by furious lions
we are alone in our journey to death.
a breath away from failed fatality
However our offspring inherits mortality
born into a circumstance of their no choosing
Unable to roam in freedom, like a slave king, living in a kingdom
We've spoken in silence, actions are golden
but gestures are opaque and incoherent.

POETIC NOTES & ANALYSIS

speaking in silence is a paradoxical poem, quite ambiguous, satirical as well but humorous emotional. Man is an entity who believes In rather action than words, sometimes speaking with actions, gestures and sign language as well, however in a situation of real trouble, he's communicated with these same methods only to discover that there will be no one to answer.

Sometimes they say actions speaks more better than even speeches, but yet in a situations of real physical trouble the naive man, applies the methods to get help, but criticizes the world because he feels the world is callous, uncaring and wicked when on the the hand, he's been speaking in silence.
