Silence envelopes my world tonight.
Quiet asserts itself, mists my sky
And lies heavy. Stars are dull, blighted
By gloom, and like them I cannot rely
On clear light. Your love has now flouted
My own, surrounded by doubt, before
Long I shall be hoarse by this shouting
At quiet. You are gone, and I am alone.
As silence reigns, my grief is showing.
