Silent Steps …… Poem by Valerie Dohren

Silent Steps……..

Silent steps fall soft on dusty ground
never to be set amidst the throng -
those steps to issue forth without a sound
from all without a voice, without a song.

Echoes of a truth which won't be heard
ring across a barren hinterland -
for no-one waits to hear a silent word
unspoken, falling from a cloistered hand.

Minds are closed and eyes refuse to see
anything they cannot comprehend -
to look within and seek reality
which time can never ever deem to bend.

Silent steps fall soft on dusty ground
shadowed imprints lost in night's embrace -
those steps to issue forth without a sound
without a voice, without a song, without a trace.
