Echoes

Close your eyes,
Listen to the silent screams,
The silent cries,
All around you they echo.
Echoing
The screams can’t get out of your head,
What are they trying to tell you?

Silent prayers being said,
Chants,
No-one is in the room.
Where are they coming from?

Whispers, chants and prayers,
Cries and screams
Echoing all around
The silent room.
