Universal Silence

I was freed today
the gracious patterns
of light
bent astray

I was freed today
accidental love
amid
the hopeless human day

I was freed today
from the one
who chained me
with unthinkable links

and imagined bands
a slave to
him
who is my hope

From a chaos
of truth
of optimism
of love

Reveals a
Universal Silence
dead with grief
and at loss for him

But with
Universal Silence
comes a peace
beyond his possibilities

With Universal Silence
comes a freedom
where nobody can listen
and nobody can hear

My thoughts are mine
my agonies: mine
my life i hold
and my death is only that

And when pessimism
envelopes me
then at least
I can worry
in Universal Silence

But, eternity doesn't seem so beautiful
when life is
and when imagination
leads to blood
and to strife
and to ignorance of what is
and what can be

So when I look into the stars
and wonder, why?
at least i can wonder
in a Universal Silence
