Bob Quigley Poet Verse

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
