Silence I + IISilenceSilence I + II
I. There is a stillness in me like the calm before a storm, only the storm never comes. The grey sky sprinkles-- nothing comes. I thought I would feel sadness, like waves crashing down-- I feel nothing at all. I am a silent sea unflustered by the wind-- I am nothing at all-- nothing ever comes.
II. There is a sadness in me like the flowing of a river, quiet but never ceasing. The water trickles by-- it is always there. I thought I would feel pain, like a violent storm-- I barely feel at all.
