~A Soundless Life~ (Story) My fingers traced the raindrops that dripped down the window. A heavy fog had settled outside, and thunder rumbled in the distance. I was sitting on my curved window bed, matching the shape of the moon window. It was evening, about time for dinner. I thought about my life before. The life I grew up on. And it was gone, faster than the raindrops on my window. I touched the necklace I was wearing. Twelve charms hung onto the silver chain. Seven charm representing something important in life that everybody needs. Water, tree, moon, sun, earth, star, wind. The last five representing what was important to me. Frog, shark, snake, dog, and dragon. Each animal symbolizing one of my family member. "Remember, you are the dragon. The power fullest of them all" my mom whispered in her hospital bed one month ago. I felt tears stinging my cheeks. My whole family was gone. All of their charms now belonging to me. I threw my favorite dragon stuffed animal angrily across the room, where it hit the wall and fell to the ground. Why couldn't I have gone with m family? Now as they were in Heaven, I was stuck on earth. Stuck with a new family. Stuck in a large mansion I didn't like. Stuck with the ability to hear, lost. I would give up anything to hear again. To hear the calming words on my old recordings of my family. To hear one voice, in my soundless life. ~A Soundless Life~ (Poem) Birds caw, Wind howls, Water crashes, And nature rustles. The beauty I could hear, Lost in a second. The calming voices, Lost to me forever. Tired hands, Longing ears, Where in this world, Do I stand? Touch, taste, Smell & sight, I count on, To live my life. No more music, No more laughter, No more talking, No more fun. My heart broken, Into millions of shards. Only a little left, Of my big heart. The life I now live, I can't accept. Living in, A soundless life
