SIlence

Day-11 OctPoWriMo-2019
Prompt: Silence
Form: Loop Poem

Silence speaks 
speaks in the hours of rage,
rage at the wordy fire
fire ignited in a domestic cage.

Can I be free?
Free from the chaos,
chaos in a bondage
bondage without a choice.

Yes, there is freedom,
freedom, in the mind,
mind full of dreams,
dreams, which are only mine.

When I embrace nature,
nature in its abundant beauty,
beauty silently echoes,
echoes in my soul in peaceful glory.
