Silence
©1995 by Lynn D. Troldahl Hershberger

I sit alone in a room filled with muffled voices --
The sound of friendship.

I sit alone surrounded by companionship and celebration.

The music drifts.
My ears participate,
But my voice cannot.

Fate has stolen my connection to the world.
Fate has made me feel invisible.

The performers sing their harmonies.
The blues pour from their instruments,
The tears pour from my eyes.

Even my tears are silent.
