Silence Is Broken Poem by Sandra Fowler
Silence Is Broken
The raindrops are too numerous to count.
Landscapes display their sorrow on the glass.
Fragility is lucid, shattering.
Small worlds are falling, who can put them back?
We try to hold together what is lost,
But song cannot be mended with a touch.
Silence is broken and no human hands
Have skill enough to make the difference.

'No human hands have skill enough to make the difference.' An excellent closure on a hauntingly sad poem. It carries the frustration of not being able to move time back to that one minute which could have made all the difference. Patrick
This is a BEautiful poem! i love the part about, 'little worlds, falling apart...who can put them back together' starr
It is another wonderful poem. I noticed that the more wonderul a poem is the shorter my opinion is :) Most of your poems are bright and light, as if they were written by the sun, or the wind...
