~ Quietude… ~ 

☆

“You talk too much”,

Chided the life that day

I wrapped myself in silence

and fell reticent, as always,

as my words bid adieu…

Time kept flying,

After ages, once again

Life met me at a turn,

Reprimanding me,

“Your eerie silence

speaks bundles of noises!”

Faced with conundrum

of speech and reticence

I stayed silent, yet again..!
