Silent

One day I will be silent,

Muted like the Moana,

Dreary like the night

And no matter

Happens whatever,

I can’t be unmuted ever

And will be silent forever.

You will crave for my words,

But I will be at a loss of words,

Not for a moment but for yonks,

I will be longing to go backwards.

You will yearn for my warmth,

But I will be lying just like a sloth.

And one day, you will be

Longing for my speech,

But I will be speechless

And no matter how much you try

You will never get a reply.

One day I will be wordless

And I will be sleeping

Sleeping like a rock,

And lying like a log,

Without even turning

Readying for burning.

Today I am silent,

But it's something different,

Which I don't know if you understand,

But I hope you will understand

Someday before I slip,

From your hand

Like dry sand.

Who will you yell at,

When I will be silent,

Baby talk to me before

I sleep and you miss me forever.

Before I evanesce and disperse in the air.

Don’t wait for the day

When I will be bereft of speech

And sink into the abyss

Of the ocean where I can’t listen

To you neither will there be

any tool for communication

so that I can talk back and you can listen.

Life is short baby,

Talk to me, when I can hark

To your voice

Pay heed to your silence

Can whisper into your ears

Tell stories unknown

Can reply to your queries before

My lip gets tied forever.
