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.”
