Craig Cornish's Silence Listens Contest...2 June 25

Following night's tenebrous sheen
on this aging lake-
humped seashells drifted on aimlessly;
I Iaid forlorn by an old palm tree
needing to connect with anyone, anyone
until turbulent waves slapped my face..
How bitter this stab of aloneness
....gripping the hidden lament without relief
and eve's naked rays were gone
upon my chilling pores...
and no one cared about my misery.
Insolent ripples drowned my grate of angst
where bleary eyes grieved like a widow:
I moaned in hushes yet not even
a restless wind heard
my internal oration, my calls for reprieve ---
begging for a timber of sound
beneath a shawl of dimming stars ,
no one , not even the silence
of a saintly breeze
cared to listen ...not now.
