silence
by Captain Gord Taylor
the silence
it’s not
right?
it’s not
usual
there’s something about this silence
it’s cold
disturbing
even
dark?
I know all will be well
all must be well
yet something is
off
it is the silence itself
not a normal silence
a silence reflecting what is happening
and so we wait
in silence
waiting
waiting
I know I need not worry
but the silence
smothers me and others
silence pervades
and then
it breaks
suddenly
a voice breaks the silence
His voice
The voice
it is my name He speaks
“Gabriel!”
I attend
“Gabriel”, He says
“Gabriel, it is time.”
“time?” I ask
“time for what?”
“It’s time to go…”
“?”
“It’s time to go ROLL THAT STONE AWAY!”
