Sad Silence
23 June 2014
DOMINICA ARE
An entry in The Crocodile Prize
Kina Securities Award for Poetry
The silence lasted long
She tried to speak
But the words won’t come easily
I wondered why
The air was bleak
As the sun filtered through
I can see it in her eyes
Her painful story
It’s now history
But there were scars
Her heart
Ever so kind and gentle
Ever so loving
Ever so glowing
It’s now broken and feeble
Here is a girl
Beautifully clad
Who is so pretty
In her own quiet way
But her life, so sad
