Mute

there is a time
when words cease
and wish to flow
like a silent stream -
unbound by the logic of
grammar,
careless like lazy
winds
and
formless like life's
invisible grace.

An ode to introversion?

This spoke to me in more ways than one. I have been thinking a lot about silence. Very nice.

aptly titled. I love the bold sense of "i'm going to write whatever I want and damn all the boundaries!"

Will need to read this a number of times, but beautiful.
See, I don't always criticise. :D

Billy - If you say it is, then it is.

Anonymous Poet - I never thought of it that way, but it seems quite applicable to this piece.

WISEGUY - I've noticed. You've been silent since a long time now. I hope this proved to be insightful.

stan laurel - :) Thanks. It's encouraging that you think of it as bold.

kaashyapeya - Every now and again, the critic needs a rest. And so does the criticised. I'll consider this a breather :p

That time is now for me and reading what I am currently experiencing gives me a sad silence.

Free Spirit - As a great man I had once had the opportunity to know said - "be with that feeling." I promise you that something happens to you which is what you needed. :)
