Silence

 The rain brings memories

Of those who have all left

And those who may have

Some are beyond reach

Preferring a safe distance 

To keep their plight private

They chased anonymity

Like some do glory

And they have found it

Nobody knows if they 

Have found peace too

When life is a perpetual war

Between leaving and staying

And going or coming home

Their stories they do not tell

Their silence tells its own tale
