Author Unknown

The symposium lay still

Life before it had exhaled

Capturing tranquillity

In its final gasp





There were no speakers

No magical spoken

or written words

Quiet thoughts,

Different days ,

took their side





Crumpled bits

of paper lay

strewn about

Only their author

knew their content

Blood soaked,

the empty cartridge





Not finding the words

Insane and pain

had rained havic

on the mind

Others had wondered

about this person

Their thoughts were fleeting

Chalking it up to

words of ought have beens





Somehow,

Days had led to now

Time had placed the shadows

Sins defined the outcome

the moment,

this instant,

Where all was now still.

Quiet had rained

encored the refrain

And the listening

to the purists and ones

with all the answers,

had only...just begun





Did you know him?
