Randy Freie Poet Rhyme

The Sounds of Silence

The sobering sounds of silence

That's weighing heavy as it nears

The hungry breath of mortal death 

That's preying heavy on my fears

Now terrorizes heart and soul 

Clouding my weary eyes with tears 

No going back when all turns black 

Shrouding my weary days and years

Gershon Wolf June 16, 2024 at 7:43 PM Chills the spine... ~ Art G. and Paul S. Randy Freie June 17, 2024 at 1:40 AM Thanks Mr. Wolf, you should read "In the Dead of Night" on page 8. I think it's one of my better spine chillers. I appreciate the feedback my friend.
