the silence

silence came quietly and unexpectedly

silence was desired
silence was welcome

you.
again you.
once more, you.

i do not exist

it is silent

the pain gives way to silence

compassion

infinite compassion

you.
again you.
once more, you.

where do we begin?

we never started
we never ended

silence.
infinite silence.

the you
the me
the silence
