One Question
Do you disturb, interrupt,
unsettle, interfere, hinder,
disarrange, perplex,
or trouble the silence
in the world around
you?
Perhaps you should.

Notes: The word disturb used to mean all kinds of things to me, and not pleasant ones. Now, it only reminds me of the group that performs a new version of a long-time favorite of mine, and really like the gravelly voiced tension it brings to these words that make all kinds of sense in today’s world. Silence used to frighten me, until I learned it wasn’t the lack of sound that scared me, but rather the emptiness it implied. So, I set about filling that emptiness. First with words, then colors, and images. Have found that silence can be one of life’s best companions.
The poem is simply a list of synonyms for the word disturb. I really like where they took me. Image is a photo taken of an incoming storm.

Yes, I was tempted to do the same. So many variations, and uses for the word.

I fear I do all those things, to some extent. Not sure if it’s good or bad, but I’m going with good. 😉

Oh yes! Perhaps we all should. Synonyms played out well in this piece. That’s a great word strategy.
