The Final Word

Two hundred faces in a lonely searching crowd.
Four hundred weary eyes weeping, failing to see.
Stark is the Solitude in numbers; deaf unto its mighty roar.
Souls of bitter disillusionment searching empty hearts; pleading evermore.

Voices rise and fall; lips move; tongues twist of incessant prattle.
Yet nothing is ever said, for nothing is heard�
For in the silence, the reaching silence comes the final word.

J. Allen Wilson � 11-2007

So poignant and deep.....a beautiful poem indeed. I especially love the minimalist style presented......Saying so much in such few words.......

Peace,

Bill :-)

"...tongue twist of incessant prattle." The perfect phrase to characterize our society. - David

you nailed this; the brilliant quiet of it..the pounding emptiness...and the word was and is always. ..
love the near hysteria effect.

Allen, lost in a crowd of people can be frightening and to have an instant of silence can be more profounding. A nice poem.
