An unearthly quiet
A stillness in my being
The river's rejuvenation has come to a stop
The winds have changed their steady course
The birds no longer harness to the moon
As they do in times of shivering cold
The autumn and the bareness of its beauty
The paragon of art
No longer is in my vision
And I wait

I wait in my silent sighs
And stagnated being

I wait
In this unearthly silence
For a betrayal that I never knew
As my heart's love has resurfaced
As it never should

And I wait

I wait for the dove to bring back a branch of hope
I require no words
Just a symbol that you still believe

But I wait
In this silence
In This foreboding solemn silence

I wait.
