sweet surrender in the sound of stillness
in all its inky, invigorating intrepidity
leaving long, lingering lapses of life
entombed within the epitomes of emptiness
numbing the null of nothingness
created by crises in cruel coping minds
edify us, silence; engrave everyone’s eager ends

I love this alliterative acrostic! I find it almost impossible to resist alliteration 💖. I particularly liked: “ entombed within the epitomes of emptiness”
Silence can be sweet and it can be brutal. Still it is a lovely thing. Great poem.

Oh wow, this was so beautifully profound! Loved it!
In silence we will heal. Just beautiful, I love the picture chosen and the words do a lot to take the breath away. A perfect nighttime poem I would say.
Awesome poem! I love the alliteration!
There is something inky in silence.
Well-wrought! Almsot like a prayer. To Harpocrates, perhaps?
The last line pulled it all together. Great job! 👏
