Challenge of the Week CXVII
In Total Silence. Don't make a sound, write in whispers if you must. The theme is silence. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
Harmony of Our Demons
Our demons stare at each other
Yours, a void
Mine, an open flame
Mine wails in pain
Yours suffocates in total silence
Both, longing to be held
You cannot hold a void, for there is nothing to grasp in emptiness
You cannot hold a flame, for you'll surely burn when you reach.
The flame steps into the void, giving light to its corners
The void contains the flame, giving it modulation
