Cry For Help Poem by David Taylor

Cry For Help

Rating: 5.0


Did you forget me?
Did you overlook my crying heart
as it tried to reach out in the dark;
tentatively it stretched out one hand
more than a finger less than an arm;
did you see it?

Did you feel my tear?
Just one small drop, it did not leave
this wet eye, too frail to be displayed;
to quiet to make a splash
dried in the wind before sunshine
sparkled its surface;
did you feel it?

Did you hear my call?
The one I shouted but without voice
the one that never left my mouth;
and sounded so loud here
and so quietly everywhere;
did you hear it?

a silent cry of a tortured soul. trying to reach out. how many times in trying times we want to reach out, but rarely someone hears our silent cry for help.truly poignant

Gently, murmuringly, flowingly put with a message that rings like the loudest of heartbeats on a monitor.... wonderfully touching and, if autobiographical, I sure hope it worked. t x

Oh David, I heard it allright, no need for voice when words are displayed like this. Surely the message got through? Here's hoping. HG: -) xx
