Silence's Blade

Oh silence, sheath thy blade,
Bring not the death that is serenity.
Thy blade, sharpened with calmness,
Instilling a fear that brings me to my knees.
I beg you for the sounds of life,
For an echo of mine own heart.
Sheath thy blade, temper thy will,
For I am not ready for death’s bitter void.

    Interesting and well written.

    So you believe that death is an eternal void lacking in anything to be sensed? Interesting. I wouldn't say this piece is Shakespearian to any degree, but it is a good poem and your imagery was quite excellent. Well done.

    With a sword of hope.

    High Priest.
