silence

Where did the words go
that fell from my mind
in the long ago yesterdays?
Where words would flow
from the deep wells I find
wisdom in the haze

How has the day slipped by
that was in my embrace
when the sun warmed the heart?
How my life’s become a lie
behind the smiling face
when my soul has fallen apart

    Powerful.

    In its brevity, the poem's message was a lot more powerful. It's quite refreshing to find a poem that doesn't try for wordiness, but rather emotion. Nice job!
