Bridge of silence

Often drawn within they are
in each contour and crevice of soul
cacophonous noise nefariously shouts
hysteria hails its malignant monotone,
yet in silence a bridge was built

Tormented flesh and torn of mind
populist pose purveys the putrid 
media's mound of malice misled
thought tears at scars the heart concealed,
yet in silence the bridge prevailed

Fastidious fortitude fringed with fear
prosperity hails a shallow grail
minions move to folly's promise
its vortex draws on me torment,
yet in silence the bridge I saw

In restless stupor alone I lay
away from racking, roving wrath
its wonder beckoned, my eyes grew heavy
the sweetest honey from life's recess,
in silence along the bridge I crossed.
