Silence
the sound of
silence never broken i call your name
there is no
answer the sun rises in the morning silently
shines all day the
fires are raging animals flee
the smoke hard to
breath sorrow's cry hard to hear
the end is written
on the wind i listen for your coming
watch the horizon the dust
rising the sound of silence
paints spectacular sunset orange ribbons
woven round my heart still beating slowly the
darkness
smothers the day for the sound of silence i keep
listening
alone in my dreams silently sleeping angels not too far
away
i call your name there is no answer only silence in the night

I am reading on my mobile so your spacing stacks differently than on the computer screen which makes for some pretty cool pairings. Like "there is no answer in the morning the sun rises silently" Tue end being written in the wind is such a cool line as well . It is a vert touching poem. Sadness at there not being an answer
This takes my breath away, Annell. So often it seems there IS no answer, and that is the hard part.
Agreed with Mary.. when an answer is replaced with silence.. it is difficult to bear.
Well penned.
Lots of love,

So poignant, my friend. Silence can be peaceful.....but, when the heart has longings and there is no answer, it can also be so hard. I love the sun rising, and "the end is written on the wind"........and the angels nearby.
Annell, this is stone lovely! Your phrases are all chosen with care, with attention to that Silence prompt. I particularly liked the use of "I call your name," because it's another song I love by the Beatles... seemed like there were song inspirations throughout. Thanks! Amy
The fragmented way of this is very befitting of the topic...powerfully given, annell.
The absence is palpable here....it is felt by the reader through your phrasing and staccato tone.
Silence when someone is missing can be hard to bear.
Beautiful poem Annell. I felt the loneliness and yearning as well as the resignation.
I read each as individual thoughts - very satisfying
