Hiding in Silence
May Omran
A world of silence,
A dreadful life of quiet;
No sound to be heard, no color to be seen;
All is white and all is black.
The shadows lurk in the haunted streets behind, gloomy storms rage the city for miles,
Ragged shutters clack firmly against the window in front of me.
“Where I am,” hiding, behind this world of silence, a dreadful world of quiet.
