because you do not speak
i know the shock
of water encountering a rock.
supremacy of silence is what i dislike.
only gods and graves deserve a right to that
or one who knows what this is all about.
perhaps you do.
if so, please let something breaks through
the walls of silence surrounding you.
out here among words
your silence is the magnet i am drawn towards.
men’s mouths, animals’ eyes and the throats of birds
fear this impenetrable thing.
so do i, all day long
and when the night drops like a confirmation
of what you are,
controller of every star,
possessor
of what the daylight struggled to reveal.
this possession kills
whatever it wills.
nothing i say matters tonight.
nor should it.
this silence is right
because it knows it is.
i shiver in the cocksure ice
and long for the warmth of bewildered eyes.
may the silence break
and melt into words that speak
of pain and heartache
and the hurt that is hard to bear
in the world out here
where love continues to fight with fear
and the war on silence will end in defeat
for every heart permitted to beat
in the air that hearts make sweet.

Salam persahabatan,
bicara tentang sebuah kebermaknaan sikap diam adalah hal menarik menurut saya. mungkin ada salah penafsiran, sebelumnya saya minta maaf karena belum bisa berbahasa Inggris dengna baik.
segala sesuatu selalu berlaku relativisme tanpa mengaburkan arti objektif secara mutlak.
diam dapat menjadi suatu sikap yang mencitrakan kewibawaan dan kebijaksanaan apabila memang keadaan mengkondisikan seperti demikian.
tetapi tidak kurang juga kita diam di saat yang kurang tepat ketika semuanya baik keadaan ataupun orang di sekeliling kita menghendaki kita bertindak dan berbicara sebagai kontribusi dan tanggung jawab diri.
senang dapat menjalin persahabatan dengan anda. C U
