Silence...The Loudest Echo

By Aleena Panda

She bled, laid still with heart contented

All pain in silence unheard,

But in her arms, roared her silence

Her very own newborn!

Her bones shrunk, oh yes again her silence hushed

Dad smiled and yet his pride had no noise

Made love with barely things spoken

Just tight lipped as all in apprehension

Shared looks, coyed gesture, blushed smiles, limbs crossed, heavy breath

Multiple questions, a rapid fire

Silence being a person, howled high

Thoughts much in dilemma & chaos

Couldn’t hear her falling for

Oh that heartbreak wasn’t any mayhem either

Weeping was all only eyes witnessed

Walking barefooted, crossing all streets unnoticed

That noise within hushed, silence spoke

Life begins, loud screams, endless dreams

Unheard echoed confusion, shut within walls

Monologue of a deserted soul of high spirit

Perishes with that uninvited guest

Roared in silence, that last breath
