sound of silence (revision and repost)

Always remember and never forget.

the skies are silent.
no airplanes are flying.
it's as if we've all suddenly gone deaf.
we remember the sound of what once was

but the skies are silent.
we keep looking up--searching,
hoping to hear something--anything.
there's nothing to be seen.

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

and the skies are silent.
inside our hearts is turbulence.
our souls have been shattered
into a million tiny pieces.

the skies are silent.
where is God?  it's as if He has left.
we cry out for understanding,
but there is no answer

in the ominous sound of silent skies.
there is no noise.  only the inaudible
sound of quietness.  we hear the
terrible noise of NOTHING AT ALL.

and the skies are silent...too silent.

(C) Copywritten and revised, 2003, by Karla Dorman.

I wont be silent with my review,
I will scream same from the rooftops,
As Karla J Dorman is a whiz with words,
She can, too, be silent,
And or as light & quiet as the birds...
Excellent write, Karla, Peace From, ED & Rufuz in NJ

A morning spent with silent skies,
I'll take with kind and grateful words;
It gives me chance to sit with God
And hear His words through morning's birds.

Yes Kate got it, the wrong kind of unnatural silence is creepy, unfortunatly we hear it or used to as an almost daily event, with the IRA, and protestants, so I kinda grew up with it, its only lasted 800 years..
