~ Screams in the Silence ~

Screams in the silence .........


Today not a rustle of a leaf, or voices heard,
Nor a sound of the wind, nor a sound of a bird,
Just the screams in the silence
Of life being smothered and dying,
Just the lamentations among the stars,
Lingering with an unknown sadness and crying.


Today no sun warmed a body, or inspired a heart;
No one was there to hug anyone torn apart,
Just a fear suddenly fell like a dark curtain
Of nothingness, a hidden void emptying,
Just a feeling of hopelessness and despair,
Wondering what is real and who else is lying.


Today no one will even smile, nor even blink;
No one will ever tell a soul, or even dare think,
Just shiver and shake blankly in the cold,
Knowing there is a secret, why everyone is sighing,
Just feeling a cataclysm is soon getting ready to happen.
Only prayer will bring us through the hard and trying.
