Silence!! *****

SILENCE

I've seen, that lonesome man,
An unsureness, in his step...
Walks, rather slow!
Yah!
He's wrinkly, with sad rheumy eyes
Brought a tear to mine eyes...
But that twinkle behind, his eyes!
Lost all he owned, family possessions, all gone
As he rambles on, a faraway look,
Wondering! where are my, people
Where have they gone,
Have they forgotten me!
A quiver, upon his lips, a tear spilling
A longing, in his eyes, yearning
Looking, searching for what!
His people, his loved ones!
Those, that once were in his life...
But marching, on goes he...
The road is long and hard,
Stumbling here, tripping there
Muttering, cursing those that, put him there
Night falls, silence echoing, all around
So dark and cold, hugging himself to keep warm
Ah! misery, in solitude playing his pipes
Misery dripping from, his eyes!
That twinkle, gone from his, eyes
Abandoned!
But, hope in his heart!
Where, are you my, love!
Whimpering hopping, where have you gone?
Falling on his knees!
Just then the moon, in her full bloom
Beams down on, he!
Lighting his path...
Awe in his eyes, as he gazes blindingly
Beaming, down, smiling at, he
Warming, his heart, directing him
That lonesome door, calling him home
Opening the door, greeting
Where are you!
Falling on his knees...
Where are you, my love?
Silence, nought but silence!!
