Silence

Look at the skies – like the mist in my eyes. A silver-plated nightmare in an endless foaming sea.
Look at the night – like a star-dotted plight. A diamond-studded casket hides a sure eternity.
Look at the sea – like reflections of me. A depth, exploding vastness that could swallow all the earth.
Look at the wind – reminiscent of him. Unreachable, untamable, untouched by Time or Worth.
Look at the world – like a blanket unfurled. A crystel-colored dewdrop smothered by a polished stone.
Look at this place – like the doubt on my face. The ruler of my kingdom, with the silence as my throne.
