SILENCE IN WINTER (A POEM)





The Usual Chirpings 
Of Birds 
Become Far and Few. 
Leaves' Color Faints. 
Flowers Hesitate To Open Petals 
Full and Wide. 
Dewdrops Moisten 
The Air. 
Mist Weaves A Veil 
From Earth To Sky. 
The Winter Stamps 
Its Signature. 
..........(II) ......... 
..................... 
Mercury 
Dips 
Rather Kind 
Here! 
Unlike Elsewhere- 
Cold and Ice 
Chill and Snow 
Envelop Such 
As If 
The World Has Its End 
Then and There. 
...........(III) ....... 
..................... 
Men and Women 
Body and Soul 
Love and Longing 
Beauty and Bliss 
All 
Stand Still 
For The Time Being 
And, 
There 
Is 
Silence 
And 
Silence 
And 
Silence! .
