Buried Silence

She walked without sound Through fields left behind The grass spoke of sorrow The sky stayed blind Each step was a whisper Each breath was weight The wind did not question The soil held fate Names forgotten in silence No markers remain Only earth remembers Each soul, each pain A child once humming Now part of the clay A mother once waiting Now drifted away The world didn’t notice How quickly they went Just homes turned to hollows And prayers unspent She bent without speaking Lit no candle that day Only left petals Where memories lay The sun kept its distance The breeze stood still The stones bore no letters Yet the silence could kill We walk on beside them Though none can see That grief plants its garden Where names cease to be They weren’t unfinished Just quietly erased As if time could unthread them Without leaving a trace
