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

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.

The power of sound and silence...provoking equal attention to each. Beautiful piece. J.

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.
