Linda Ori - ! SILENCE

Words that once came easily -
Spilling from the heart,
Expressions of the soul................
Now silenced;

Flames of inspiration now
Shadows on the page -
Empty, void of meaning..............
Now extinguished;

Passion's raw emotions gone,
Feelings unexpressed,
Thoughts unshared...............
Now blighted;

The light of understanding
Flickers in the darkness,
A candle unattended.................
Now snuffed out;

The silence is deafening.
