Waiting for a word

By Draestar

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The world stands still Taking it all in Unknowingly aware Unmistakenly afraid Our actions Forcing us into silence Leaving us an absent stare So many questions yet unasked No one it seems Feels it safe to speak The sanctuary of peace Crumbles like stone Of an old fortress wall In the midst of battle There lies a silence Deafening to the mind Wrentching to the soul The world now stands here Waiting for a word Too frozen to be said Waiting for a word to know its not dead.
