scream
…….louder
…………..louder
…………………l-o-u-d-e-r
drowning out
the sounds of others

relishing in the feeling
of exhaustion
when you no longer
can utter a sound

the quiet
is suddenly
……………noisier

you’re now attuned
to the universe’s voice

where angels
gather
& sing in silence

their harmony
heals the weak
their vibrato
creates the ripples
that ease pain
their melody
mends the broken

they wait patiently
for the screaming to cease
they wait for you
to recognize
your soundless state

on the count of 3
……..scream
…………….and mean it
