all the word's a stage

the quiet

of the world is a resounding
whisper

of what now.
what's next.

how's the script going to be
written,

played out.

who lives, who dies.
is there a hero

a protagonist, a villain?

does the plot thicken
or
does it end,
is there more

to the mystery, or
does it fade away

with a whimper, with hardly
a bow?

Love "the quiet of the world is a resounding whisper" (of course not crazy about the line breaks. I think you lose some of the power of the words/ image when you fall back on that short line. do love the juxtaposition of "resounding" with "whisper."
