Reticent Voices Heard Only In Thoughts Sos

an obscurity of thoughts fall like soft rain through emotional pain that linger again in caliginous mind that feed my pen words stumble atop sheets of white unspoken, unheard like soft whispers of a gentle wind although seen remain uncomprehended like laconic utterance within bold frames of darkness i feel its chill as i walk alone unknown through paths once blocked where people stand beneath the effulgence of moon's full glow like stars together yet afar untouched by my words or yours i feel you guide me as i slump beneath the shadows of their selfless rituals through the force of my pen scribbled through silence in darkness alone July 27, 2019 Sounds of Silence Sponsored by John Hamilton

What I really like about this poem, Sandra, is that you've kept the feel of the song in your poem, as you interpret it. Not easy at all to do. Kudos. G.L. in the contest. :) gw5K5

A wonderful take on the subject, Sandy. This was always one of my favorite songs growing up, Paul Simon was such a wonderful poet. Best of luck in the contest. All the best my friend. Hugs, John
