"Beauty is truth,
truth beauty,
that is all Ye know on Earth,
that is all Ye need to know..." - John Keats

Whispers of Silence...

When you fought a weary battle,
when you cried with your arms wide open..
When you tried to fool yourself of the untruth,
and calm your heart down...

When you strived to make people happy,
and you strived to make your self known...
When it is all talked out,and ended in a whisper..
When no matter what you say,
what you do,things don't change for better...

You sigh at that end of the day,
where your weary work has not borne any fruit,
and when you after burning your neck under hot scorchy sun,
come back and lie down and perspire...

At that end of the day,
when emotions have come and gone...
All the tears flown and dried,
and all the passion,wasted away...

You find yourself,numb,
oblivious to something called pain...
You shut yourself out,to all that hurts..

And even the faces of those people you loved,
doesn't bring a smile unto your face...
You feel there is pain to be felt,
but you don't feel any pain...

And you do what man has done for ages,
you move on,and just pale shadows remain...
At the end,with regret,perishes your speech,
and all you do,is whisper silences...

Because that is what is left behind,
when all else has left...
Even in the absence of your shadow,
you feel Pablo's infinite silence silences...

Even in the middle of nowhere,
you hear the whispers of infinite silence,silences...
