Silent King

Author's Note:

This is a poem I wrote to make the reader think of the people in your life that you do not always notice, but are helping to guide you through life and are there to catch you before you fall. I want to make the reader think about a person who you know, who you don't know, or who you have yet to meet, that will one day lead you in the right directions in life. I am focusing on formatting.

Once upon a time…

A village in danger

With no chance of hope

Lost out of luck

Without a savior

But a silent king

Few have seen him

Few have tried

Few even know

That he's alive

Silent king

In trouble or darkness

In the dead of the night

He who is knowing

Will soon guide the light

Silent King

He never stays

To accept his prize

He runs out yonder

And disappears

Silent king

You cannot find him

But he will always

Find you

Whenever needed

Silent king

On the first

Day of summer

A stranger he met

Discovered the great

Silent king

They talked and talked

Face to a face

He told of his travels

He told of his mind

Silent king

But thy asked him

A question

How do you know?

How do you know where to go,

Silent king

He thought about it

And walked around

And only chirped

Few mumbled sounds

I see all that is alive

Even though I am quite blind

I hear sounds, of what is left

Even though I am quite deaf

I taste words, that drip from mouths

Even though I make few sounds

I smell hate, from quite a distance

I fix problems, no resistance

I touch lives, of all whom I meet

Even though I can't be seen

And his new friend

Rebutted

Then just how can I,

See you with my eyes

Silent king

You can believe

You do believe

All have been

Given the choice

Silent king

You were not chosen

You are not different

Than he or me

Or she nor I

Silent king

Though perhaps you see

Just like me

Everything

Yet nothing

Silent king

Nobody else can surely

Understand

What it is like

To see what we see

Silent king

The man replied with

What do we see?

And king answered

Energy

Silent king

For we do not

Need eyes or ears

Or lips or fingers

Or noses, or fears

Silent king

Ignorance is bliss

Though we would not

Give in

We kept hope

Silent king

Saving, sharing

Teaching, guiding

Lighting, giving

Caring, loving
Silent king

Silent king

His new friend

Blinked once then

Twice, but he was

Gone, who?

Silent king

With no trace of

A path a trail or

Direction

Gone

Deserted

Vanishing

Silent king
