Death is a silence Posted by Laurie Bean on May 01, 1998 at 22:45:41:
Death is a silence of one's being
as it resides on this plain.
Death is a silence of one's soul
as it is known in the present and past time.
Death is the silence
between two people.
Death is a constant.
Through space and time, forever connecting our world
to those of days past
and days yet to come.
Death links us to another living soul
in suffering, through suffering.
Death is a silence that quiets one voice
while leaving a whisper of the human soul to linger forever.
