Silence
Silence
Is when I'm afraid
Of my own thoughts
That sway.
Before me
Counting days
Petrified
This is the end
Of time.
Before, middle
And after
I bow before
My problems
As they defeat me.
Relentless
Crashing waves
Beating forth
My ending days.
Masking
All I know
That brings me joy
'Till then.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
