Moment of Silence


The complete silence

Brings justice to thought

No complicating words

No verbs

Involving nonsense

Or progress

In verbal analysis of physics

Turning pages

And moving fingers

Are the only things to hear.

Within the classes closed door

But the subtle chirps

Distract me slightly

As I fade into nature’s bliss

Oh I wish

The hunger would go

And let me unfold

Then drift into the wonderful silence

That bring me peace

From conflicting opinion

I’ll enjoy what I can

Until the bell finally rings

and the choruses

come back to life from the mouths

of different beings.
