sound of silence

the skies are silent
no airplanes are flying
it's as if we've suddenly gone deaf
we remember the sound

but the skies are silent
we keep looking up
but we can't hear anything
we can't see anything

the skies are silent
the only contrails we see
are the ones traced on
our faces by tears

the skies are silent
but inside us is turbulence
as our hearts shatter
into a million pieces

the skies are silent
it's as if God has left
we cry out for understanding
there is no answer

the skies are silent
there is no noise except
the hideous sound
of nothing...

and the skies are silent...

(C) karla dorman, 2003

That's ususally when prayers get answered. Silence can be a blessing, too.

sometimes silence can be golden, but this is not one of those time.

This is a tear jerker... I was driving to work--- the chill that went up my spine... I don't think we will ever be the same, however, more aware. Your depth in this is outstanding!

Thanks,
Emilie

It was the sounds that were not heard that felt soooooooo strange. Imagine driving on Interstate 90 and not seeing a car for a least 5 to 10 mintues! Great write.

(((KARLA)))

excellent word usage; and very powerful in its impact. i never knew silence could be so deafening until september 11, 2001 happened, and not hearing the sound of airplanes flying (excepting for the occasional military jet) was both quite frightening and eerie!

*NEVER FORGET* *GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN!*

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, karen lynn. :( >tears <
