Poem: A Loud Silence

By: Lauren Revsbech

A loud silence echoes through the room

Heads turn

Eyes stare

Faces shocked

Bodies frozen

A loud argument cuts through the air like a sword

As powerful as thunder

As fast as lighting

Faces contorted

Bodies shaking

A language silent enought to hear a pin drop

As soundless as the night

As quite as a funeral

Not a whisper

Not a sound

A loud loud silence echoes the room

Two people fighting

In a language of signs

In a language of emotion

No words being said

Only a loud silence
