I am in conversation with your silence
The trail of your silence leads to my life
…..so please don’t break your silence
It seems I am not what I used to be.
I sometime ask myself
Where have I left that ‘self’ of mine which used to ooze with confidence?
May be it is lost in the freedom of flying too high or may be that it is lost in the crowd of loneliness
(yes loneliness comes to me now in huge numbers with different deceitful hues and colours)
I am looking for that innocent yet confident ‘me’ in this crowd
But the crowd of loneliness is cruel-it squeezes my neck and I start losing breath
A bout of it comes and for a moment I feel as if am dead
Across everywhere it clouds and everything appears dark & unrecognizable
But suddenly a ray of hope flashes
And in the horizon I see you silently smiling at me
In this silence I could hear your heartbeat- RHYTHM OF LIFE
This heartbeat gives me confidence and hope
So don’t break your silence
as in your silence I hear your heartbeat.
Seems at the moment my surrounding is not conducive for love
Or am I too much worked up for nothing?
Whatever it is I don’t want to lose love.
So I prefer silence
…… though I look aloof
yet am in a silent revolution against this surrounding-to prove that my love is pure
I know you love me so won’t you support me in this revolution
by maintaining this silence?
Please don’t break your silence
Don’t you please break your silence because I am in conversation with your silence.
