Poem- "Never Absent"

[anahbird]

Never Absent

Go away-
far from it all
and in the silence,
listen.

A small voice
yells, but
you
no longer hear.

Deafened
by empty silence;
hollow walls stand
where passion once grew.

The dead of Winter
stilled the fire,
snuffing Spring
from your heart.

Go away now
and listen-
hear the words
of your soul:

The voice-
it never vanished,
you were the one
gone astray.
