《Lost Silence》
by Violeen Graham
They said
My madness
Is that empty well covered with moss
Is that water reflecting rosy dawn and birds cannot find
Is that icy cold rocks animals away from home cannot hide
The sun lost its silence
Just like I let go of my promises
They lied to me
Those golden pieces accidentally
Fall from the edge of the table and smashed
Isn't the one from the sky during the day
I cried
Then I laughed and said
Hello, can we know each other again?
When the lost silence becomes the new quietness
Seasons change, months and years flows into sadness
Nobody
Can escape from the pain of broken masks
That day
The day it fell into thousands pieces
Maybe
Someone saw
Its silence, left with its black hood on
Millions emotions suddenly burst out in its throat
They kept my eyes closed and beg
Don't look, you madness will tear you apart
Too late
When we first met
When I was a funny child
Everything is done
Between their crevices of hot fingers
I saw the fallen of the sun
No coincidence
No accident
It slowly opened the cell of silence
One side of its body welcomed the collision
An anticipated spasm passed through its body
They said
My madness
Is because the light from the night sky is too bright
I cried
I smiled and said
Is because promises fleeing with silence
Drove sanity away
Then sacrificed the quietness
