Silence

the silence is deafening.
all i can hear is nothingness.
there is no sound to tell
where i am.
there is no sound to tell just
who i am.
how can i ever find my way
in this world with out sound.
with silence as my new friend.
a new constant companion.
i do not like my new companion.
but it seems i must endure her
until i an find my way.
i need to get out of this dismal
and dark abyss of silence.
when i do, there will be no
silence, only sound and i will
know where i am and who
i am, since i am me and me alone.
