Alison A Smith Poet Free verse

Silent Screams

Silence the waves crashing,
Silence the birds call,
Silence echoes of the lost soul,
Silence, everywhere silence.

Screams shatter the birds call,
Screams silence the waves,
Screams crack the very essence,
Screams scare the silence away.

Silently the screams take over.
Screams of silent despair.
Silent screams, scream silently.
Silently I scream.

Christopher Delegans May 24, 2026 at 9:27 PM Like how this funnels down to a strong, thought-provoking ending. Alison A Smith May 24, 2026 at 10:04 PM There are days when that is me. Thank you for visiting Alison
