"nothing exceeds silence" wow Benno!

A lot of strong images and ambiguous emotions shining through these Words!

Great job, now I am gonna go read it again:)

The kind of poem that makes me feel the potency of existence. I really liked the triptych structure combined with the heavy imagery, like taking in a painting. Well done, keep at it!
