this silence

Bruce Curley [email protected] poetslife.blogspot.com © retained This Silence It was the silence that most terrified me. The silence of night. The silence of dawn. The silence of my wife. The silence of this life. The silence of my father. The silence of a boss. The silence of a stranger. The silence of a friend. The silence of God. The silence of nature. The silence of silence. I’d wake up, pained, each morning with questions of life, and love, family and existence, eternity and grace, but there was only silence, deep, dark, dank silence. As a baby, I was silent. My mother confirms this fact. States proudly, “Bruce didn’t speak  for two years after he was born. Then he spoke in complete sentences.”
