Analysis of In Silence
Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)
You are the mirror
And I stand naked.
Can a man absolutely be true to the self ?
You are utterances,
voices surfy and offshore deep in the sea.
With unspoken words of the distant blues
in conversation with the threads of silence i look for the shadow
lost and muted.
