Silence Of The Lost. Moments alone lost Out of control In the dark of night No belongings, no home Collars to warm Nose dripping Eyes swollen Tears flowing Glorious days, happy times Gone in a flash To the winds of change Fallen knees unwanted Pleas begging compassion Mere silence abounds As the walk to nowhere Begins a thousand thoughts Asking a million questions In the silence of the lost If there is in truth Real love, bring it out To greet the quiet The destitute Let it be harnessed So that the lost Can never experience Silence Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Oh hon, This is just a wonderful piece that makes me think of my life now. You are always writing the pieces that make me think about life. Thank you for sharing again. I just hope that one day I won't be one of the lost anymore. Love, Lady Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured. |

I always believe that 'to get lost is truly to find ones self' . Whenever I go for a mental or physical strowl into the unknown, I always come out thinking straighter . I really enjoyed this poem, it has loads of depth and meaning and flowed very well . You're very talented my friend . Thanks a lot . L.of.L. Tommy .

Your words touched me deeply. Oh, I know just a poem right? Well, not to this reader. Silence to a child is devastating, years of feeling lost is crippling, to the poet it is death. To the person wanting real love it is everything. If someone is silent for many years they store up either evil or goodness or maybe both. Being told to be silent to a child, or anyone is cruel. Being able to express yourself is a gift. Yes, this touched me very deeply. Kathleen |

Lady, There is so much silence out there, and we are immersed by its enormity, but seldom we raise an eyebrow to the magnitude of the problem. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your comments are always so great. Cheers. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

JD~ I'd have to say that this is a feeling piece. There are all kinds of silence ~ Some are welcomed ~ The silence of quietude where moments of thought overtake ~ The reverent silence when listening is an art~ The moments of silence when a hush falls ~ over the earth at the setting of the sun~ The silence of opening ourselves to others and knowing they hear us by our actions ~ Some are not~ Silence imposed by another is a cruel extinguisher of friendships that could have been shared ~ Silence held in complicity of a wrong-doing~ Silence insisted upon with malicicous intent ~ Silence of the words that would lift another~ Silence of the heart of one who is lost ~ Unfortunately, the are not's usually outnumber the are welcomed's. You've provided lots of food for ponder. I'm pondering. Well done, poet. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

To be lost in silence, This is so sad, with no one listening, sometimes silence is also a two edged sword, somehow is words need to be spoken there needs to be just one person there to listen, I to agree that to often so many children are not heard, with so much rush of today's world we need to stop and listen for the children are our future. Very nice poem Daniel. |

This is great, Daniel. A little love would probably go a long way toward healing the pain of many of those less fortunate. Great thoughts in this! Denise |

Kathleen, You moved me with this wonderful reply. Silence is something we have all experienced, however, not many cope with it well. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Marge, The greatness of our being is unknown to even ourselves. What we do know and feel is loneliness, and when there is solitude circling our deepest emotions, Silence takes control, from ourselves and those around us. Breaking it (the silence) is not easy, indeed. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
