Analysis of Silence Looks Devastated
Clouded by damp greyish indifference,
animation's actions inhale divine
influence as ragged independent
composition finds liberty in love.
Wood pulp sheets stare blank language to coiled eyes
while feathered death sings in the long distance,
the transformation is immediate,
spiritual seconds explode across
hopelessness, and wedding bells shatter noise,
silence looks devastated by sound.
Discouragement swirls along fingerprints,
like poetic butterflies to moths,
furious abandonment shrieks paper
stanzas into the ear of creation,
and it's all in the blink of a wild dream,
stuck to a lashed notion where rhythm sighs.
Versatile quality spreads weathered wings,
clouds swiftly reveal beams of bright lit light,
a poem is set free from the tongue's shape
to find a home beside breath in the air.
