A silence. A torture. A silenced, tortured silence. A conflict of person. A Personal conflict. A damaged vision. A faltered journey. A failed hope. A crushed desire. A banished yearning. A rejected quest. A stumbling voyage into unknown depth. Ravaged faith. Murdered courage. Slaughtered dreams. Fanatical destruction of peace. Violent obliteration of the hopeful. Of that which hopes. Of that which is hoped. Of that for which is hoped. All that is hoped is all that is lost. A piercing cry of terrified misery seams of elation, torn apart, stitch by stitch. All that is done: undone All that is saved: ****** All that is freed: jailed A life but not in full. A bird without song A river without water A tree without leaves A speech with no words An audience with no hands An exile of the necessary. An exile of calm. Fear
