A poem by David Morton

Audience

________________________________________________
Title:     Audience
Author: David Morton [More Titles by Morton]

I am aware of crowds behind the night,
Of eager faces just beyond our eyes,
Immured in silences and lost to light,
Piteous and pleading with a hurt surprise
That we who live will never turn a head
To speak them any answer, or to hark
The pregnant whispered wisdom of the Dead,
The futile finger pointed in the Dark.







[The end]
David Morton's poem: Audience
