Sarah Jabri Poet Free verse

The Fade of Silence

I have not seen it all
I have however, heard them 
I heard their voices
I heard their laughter
I heard their cries
I heard them speak 
From corners to corners
I heard them dancing
I heard them singing
I heard them call for the skies
I heard them seek 
For a solace of every form
I heard them all
.
.
.
Then I heard nothing

James Inman August 8, 2016 at 8:26 PM Very interesting write Sarah. It would be interesting to know where the inspiration for this came from. It leaves you wondering what caused the silence. A thought provoking piece.

J. Tudor February 26, 2016 at 11:58 AM The power of sound and silence...provoking equal attention to each. Beautiful piece. J. Sarah Jabri March 13, 2016 at 12:18 AM Thanks a lot J. :)

Timothy Hicks February 25, 2016 at 9:08 PM Even more zen-like than the first one! I love how you captured the brevity and fleeting sound of voices, as the reverberations die out. Almost reminds me of the little "bong" sound you hear when some hits a gong ... like a light-bulb going off in your head. Intriguing. Sarah Jabri March 13, 2016 at 12:18 AM I haven't thought of that but, it does sound like it hahaha thank you :)
