You Answered With Silence
5.19.2023
Are we a question?
I thought
I asked
A quest for answers
I sought
I tasked
Your answer, silence
No words
You answered with silence
But it spoke volumes
You made it apparent
Abundantly clear
For words
There simply was no room
For words
There was no room
So I got to work
I got busy
Gotta add to my worth
I can’t get lazy
I pushed
I pulled
I lifted
I culled
We needed room
We were full
But now look forward
To filling some space
With your words
Are we a question?
I thought
I asked
As for your answer
I leave no guess
Much to my relief
This time a “Yes.”
But not because we are a mess
More
How much more we are
Than less
It was a “Yes.”
And it spoke volumes
Echoed as proof
For words
For us
I had made room
Are we a we?
I thought
I asked
And you had space
To answer, “Yes.”
