I think what was interesting about this poem was that it seems to be so obvious and yet there is a way in which the verses have been crafted that makes it feel like a revelation. Interesting use of words and a very delicate scansion, though slightly pompous at times. Thanks for Sharing.

The poem is a beauty.. no doubt!!! Loved it all... especially where it says --
"what do I rediscover about silence except that I would always miss it?" and
"Does solitude offer strength over time, or is denial of it the only practical aim?" and
"When all light finally forsakes a room, do we take the time to interrogate the dark, and to what end?"
Dunno but something about the way it talks about silence, solitude, practicality and interrogating the darkness -- leaves you back with enough questions/thoughts to ponder over!
Loved the effort made to find meanings behind all that misses our attention, time and again!
