Silent colors

White silence peaceful and calm,

where cotton clouds float,

on the running river of time a psalm

sculpts meaning without a note

 

Red silence paints birthing skies

regurgitating a morning sun

spilling blood as it dies

when day is done

 

Age\'s yellowing fear

drools phlegm on a quiet cloth

bleeding stain of a tear

drips through holes made by a moth

 

Blue is the music of silence

as it falls in freezing rain

tearing each heart with violence

from solitary pain

 

Silence now black

fills fetid sewers of time

putting hope with a dog and monkey in a sack

thrown into the river Thyme
