just by viewing family,
photos we treasure
-------------------------
Realized fortune,
gave thanks for what's come his way,
scared to ask for more
...
when he gets the nerve,
so many things defeat him,
and silence coats him
...
so he smiles big
and repeats his gratefulness,
repeats his silence
...
silence is louder
than any noise he could make,
but no one hears it
...
best not to disturb
what's been so well established;
better to wonder?
...
and his conclusion...
he hasn't come to any--
old desperation
...
and his echoed hope...
that a brave, bold someone else
breaks the silence.
