She is like the wind that has no sound that leaves no trace or path of where it has been
she is like a shadow left by the sun behind her that is no more and has disappeared leaving only darkness in it's wake
she is like the burning embers from a fire that once burned bright but now only darkness remains in the silent wind and nothing remains
she is like the leaves that tremble as they fall, bereft of tears as they are carried by the wind with no sound into an endless void where the silence is complete
So good to see you back writing your wonderful poetry Renee… And the Silent Wind, speaks of the bleakness in winter, and the often empty silence one can feel .. So good to see a post from you dear Renee, I hope this finds you well my friend xx ❤
A thoughtful poem, Renee. When I read it, it reminded me of how we are often left in silence and in our own thoughts when the wind stops or night falls around us – and it isn’t always the easiest space to be in. Like Bela said in the comments, I could see this poem being about grief. Your ending ‘silence is complete’ made me think. Silence isn’t all that bad. In fact, I am someone who likes silence as it’s when I can listen to myself and honour how I feel. Thank you for sharing.
