Literary Pursuit (Poem)

Sound of Silence! By PRAMITA BOSE Silence speaks when black dots appear on chat screen but no words get keyed in Silence speaks when a blue tick is visible but no reply is received Silence speaks when mail inbox remains empty for ages but no revert is seen from the sender’s end Silence speaks when I turn my head to look back but can only catch your flitting shadow on the wall Silence speaks when footsteps are heard at the doorway but none presses the bell The expected visitor to be precise! Silence speaks when tears roll down the cheeks and the lips are sealed but the look in the eyes says it all Silence speaks when there’s a lull after a storm but the squall in the heart refuses to subside.... *********************************************************************************************************************
