Silence

He suffers in silence

Trapped in his mind


He speaks with his eyes

As blue as the sea


He stares, just for seconds

Straight into your soul


I wonder what he sees there

Is it secrets and fear


Or a scared little child

Searching for something


Does he know that/ Does he get it?

Should I tell him? 

Someday, we’ll see

The poem is about my father who had a stroke 2 years ago and doesn't speak
