Silence
Only silence,
No song to lift the tension
Nor to break the barren spell,
No music or no rhythm
Every day is just the same.
Endless
It's so endless,
Ignored by conversation
To share no joy nor laughter,
Imprisoned in a lonely cell
That offers no escape.
Missing
Always missing,
The first words of a baby
Gushing wind amongst the trees,
Or the waves upon the shoreline
And the chorus of the dawn.
Deafness
Wretched deafness,
How cruel and unforgiving
How uncaring and unkind,
To rob a soul of all these sounds
That I so love to hear.
oh Dear, it is really very sad.......very nicely said.........bereft of the music of sound life.........
good captivating write, Andrew...the way you structured the stanzas gives a nice reading...10
We take our hearing for granted, how well you have explained how it must feel to be deaf and unable to hear anything, an excellent write from an excellent poet, 10 Lynda xx
Andrew, Having a hearing deficet, I can toally reltate so very well with this. Once again, you have mastered a beautifull piece with descrption of life without sound...Expertly written with your majical pen.......
The birds songs, they disappear, that is so sad, there is something very sweet when the birds are singing, it lifts the spirits high. Being slightly deaf myself it is missing the end of a joke, or not quite catching the gist of the conversation. Still old age catches up along with these sorts of problems I'm afraid. Even hearing aids are not perfect. Very well written piece, lovely words and great subject. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
