Congratulations tailor Stately and thanks for the compliment :)
Thank you, and you're welcome !
That noise is mostly silence
Like chatter in one’s mind,
Like giggling done by things that run
And wanting only to have fun,
But fun is hard to find.
I’ve let them have their freedom.
They like my well-stocked zoo,
I have no doubt they can’t get out.
Their thinking must be all about
How they can get me, too.
Too much "silence" (lol)... Less than a week to go ! Need more entries to make this a contest.

...Silence...
With every word left unspoken
They built a house of destruction
Screaming in silence
As they fulfill their penance
Yet remorse resounds hollow
From promises they just couldn't follow
Silence piercing their souls
From secrets left untold.
Silent Witness
There it sits
and stares,
accusing in its immobility.
Its smooth grey form
once pristine in its
sea polished state,
now marred by
rusted brown and
glutinous grey streaks.
What have you done?
it seems to whisper,
hushed amid the swell of tide.
What have you done?
But silence reigns.
There are no words
can give it back the
innocence of clean
and pure geology
it had before.
Before my hand completed
transformation,
from rock,
to weapon,
in one fell swoop.
A contest it is !!

2 weeks from the end of this round would be May 4th...
“So this is how liberty dies…with thunderous applause.” – Padmé Amidala
Lets go with Liberty Dies as the topic and May the 4th be with you :)
Congratulations, Stephofthenight!
Although liberty dies
There’s a Moon that will rise
Casting moonlight below.
Oldish dreams fail to grow.
Patient stars ever will
Turn around but look still.
Evening Sun creeps to set.
We’ll eventually get
Some new day some may see
Although maybe not me.
