A Collection of Poetry Book Three

Be Silent

Be silent

So you can listen.

Do you hear that?

The whisper is getting closer.

What does it say?

Remain silent

And you shall hear

What it is you should fear.

It’s the truth

Coming your way.

Now that you realize it,

You don’t want to stay.

So to avoid the truth

You run away.

But there’s no escaping

The whisper.

It follows you,

It gets closer.

You keep running

But still the truth gets closer.

You remain silent,

And hope it all goes away.

You try not to listen

To what the whisper says.

You keep running,

But there’s nowhere to hide.

Eventually you’ll have to stop,

And then you’ll hear the whispering truth.

You keep running,

But it doesn’t go away.

So you keep running

And running.

But you won’t beg or pray.

The moon shines upon you

Like a spotlight,

And the whisper sees you at night.

The voice inside your head

Tells you to be silent and listen

To what the whisper says…
