What sound issues forth

from the place of the

Abyss

It is neither the

timbre of sweet

angelic choir nor

the shrieks and howls of those

Souls lost in the

night

It is not the harmonious

cadence of the Universe

or the persistent hum

of time moving

from point to

point

 Perhaps, it is the silent pause

between the beats of a heart

that has given all that

it has to

give

This is the silence that

is full of potential and

hover just at the edge

of ecstasy bursting forth

It is the hollow echo

that stirs the memory

and opens the sight

to choices and paths

taken long ago

It is the primal scream

that heralds the beginning

or renewed awareness

It is the silent scream

of the Fool as he steps

off the edge of what is known

and falls into the arms of

true

Knowledge

-R.Fennelly-
