stars and silence

 

Stars and Silence


The night does not speak,  

yet every star is a syllable   

burning in the dark.

 

I listen to the silence  

as if it were a map,   

each pause pointing

farther than light.

 

Somewhere between

the glitter and the still  

I hear what cannot be said,   

and it sounds like forever.
