Poetry by Robert H. Stone: Crying Out


Crying Out
This is the time I fear,
the time when love unacknowledged
creeps back into my mind
and my heart is set once again
for crying out silence,

This is the time I crave,
the time when respect undeserved
flows back into my mind
and my heart is ready once again
for crying out softly.

This is the time I love,
the time when reverence deserved
floods back into my mind
and my heart is queued once again
for crying out loud.

- Robert H. Stone, December 2008
I wrote this poem in December 2008 for my little writing group. Each month we had a theme poem and that month's challenge was to include the phrase "for crying out loud."
