Whisper of Your Silence

Listen to poem:

Lonely I walk through the walls of crowds Reach out but like shadows they don’t connect Their eyes are vacant cold and empty Ghostly people walk on by crossing my path As I head back home in wonted despair Where I find solace in the whisper of your silence I can always count on you Your soothing presence tangible Your embrace warm and lingering As familiar as an old lover’s embrace The feeling hovering Haunts me ever so gently Tired of wandering alone It’s soothing to find you here Loneliness serenely dark and faithful Wrapped in the warmth of your caress I find solace in the whisper of your silence Read on air by invitation ~ April 12, 2020 'LATE NIGHT POETS' AP: 2nd place 2022 Submitted on July 27, 2019 for contest SOUND OF SILENCE sponsored by JOHN HAMILTON - RANKED 10TH

Your poem was wonderful, Richard. That is why I don't do premiere contests anymore.

in today's world people don't connect anymore, even when gathered together most are buried in their gadgets! Good take on the contest Line, I enjoyed reading this one today :)
