The hands come together but make no sound;
the effort is simple in vain.
Friction on her hands is not to be found
and the silence is causing her pain.
A tree falls in the distance
and it used to have an unsaid poise;
and who is proud enough to take the stand-
and say it makes no noise?
The King is used to hearing the trumpets blare.
Even though harder he pushes the air
Badly, the trumpeter fares
no one heard, because nothing was there.
The child cries and blindly yelps,
as death creeps into his fathers face.
But not one soul hears the pleas for help
except the Devil, with his bloody mace.
This does not bode well
for if there is no one to tell
our boasts and lies;
we might as well say good-bye.

| 'Dark poetry' does seem to be a fitting topic. but that doesn't matter. This is a great write, and elaborates on the age old question about the falling tree making noise. keep them coming. thegurl |

| I didn't find it to be overtly dark.... it is intriguing though. Thanks for sharing it! |
