Unheard


If someone moves in darkness

With no one there to see

Are they there at all?

 

Alone in naked starkness

Content as could be

Are they there at all?

 

A sudden pain disrupts

The easy status quo

Are they there at all?

 

Unnatural chaos erupts 

A life is taken so 

Are they there at all? 

 

A million voices 

Silenced --

Abortion.

Poetical

I enjoy long walks on the beach and peanut butter on waffles. I am an OYANer, an AWANA leader of K-2nd grade, an avid actress, and I still sleep with my stuffed rabbit and sock monkey.
