the sounds of silence
weigh
heavily on the mind;
the
ears lie, shattered,
by
its thunder; do
you
remember that noise?

the screams of pain burn
like
the scorching heat outside;
the
eyes have collapsed
in
apathy; do
you
remember that pain?

an enemy lies
in
wait ... have you forgotten?
death
stalks clear blue skies
and
hides in plain sight:
we
must remain alert.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

Death stalks us all these wicked days it seems, Karla - and we must very sadly be on alert for everything now.

You have adeptly captured that pressure behind the eyeballs and the pounding of the swollen brain against the temples when that sudden bloodrush of panic strikes, Karla. A most unique and well-crafted take on that most ikky of feelings... vulnerability and choking fear. Gets the adrenalin pumping, at any rate. Excellent, thank you.. Kate xx

The Brits have the wisdom over us in keeping terrorism a constant priority for national security. We need to listen up and watch how it's down by our free world brothers. We got caught sleeping once...the Brits caught the terrorists sleeping this time...we need to have all of our radar up 24/7 and we need to remind ourselves daily that one life lost to terrorim is one too many.
Thank you for keeping the Den on our toes. Here's hoping all the free world will listen abd stay tuned.
Love and peace.

Brilliant! Form you created makes the message stand out loud and clear. Takes a great mind and a poetic soul to create a work
that is deceptively simple and deeply affecting. BRAVA, my friend,
BRAVA !!!! 'Pea' <3 {I can barely type. Hornets stung my hands when I was pruning a redtip...got those in Texas, right? Heat and humidity have the hornets mad as. . .well. . .hornets. Barstards got me! Grrrrrrrr.)

Indeed the storm clouds are forming again on the horizon dear Karla. And I concur with your encouragement also to stay alert.

This generation may just see many things extraordinary taking place on this planet in the near future.

Let us pray for peace and hope for the wisdom to remain free. Excellent thoughts!

Excellent write, Karla!

How quickly some people return to their self-imposed blindness.......how unshakingly, the rest of us must keep vigil......as the Watchmen on the wall! God help us all!

Stay awake, the enemy never sleeps..

And lets hope all those peaceniks come to their senses, and realise
that hordes of vermin, are seeking to overun our country, and subjugate us to their Satanic Doctrines

Shalom
