Poetry And Power

"Silence"
By Mike Oswald

You felt so loved Dear
Didn't have to be so loud Dear
You where your love
I was just along for the ride

Where was your pain
Why was it so beautiful
Couldn't find hate...my best friend
or was your life so clear

My conversations were so very quiet
But you knew how to communicate
I was not strong
I couldn't resist love
You where my picture
So proud to show to friends

Where was your hate
No hate
Why so beautiful...
...for me?
