The Silent Cry

The Silent Cry Bob Quigley I sense without hearing Observe but do not see Vibrations on my heart Receive the silent cry It echoes on my soul Wrapped as in a dream Reality denied Believe the silent cry Soon it will depart Yet the essence is still there I reach to touch its veil Retrieve the silent cry I know not whence they come The whispered waves of pain Casting a net of sorrow I grieve the silent cry First place in Michael Falotico's "Sounds of a Cry" contest Dedicated to all the children of the world that will not eat today
