Sounds have a meaning

A baby’s cry,
A mother knows
Feed, wind or nappy

A child’s tears,
A teacher knows
Bullying, abuse or fears

A wife’s sigh,
A husband knows
Content, sad or tired

A dog’s bark,
A provider knows
Play, fun or danger

A victim’s scream,
The helpless knows
Rape, beating or pain

A patient’s groan,
A medic knows
Dislocated, twisted or broken

Just sounds, reverberations
Tales no alphabet will ever reconstruct
Yet their substance echoes through eternity

Thanks j, I'm still unsure

Thanks j, I'm still unsure as to whether anything we create is really original, as it's all triggered by something... lovely to hear from you

Well written, Shannon,
