In Dutch

by Leonard M Hawkes

After the sleep
When my eyes were mine
And my mind emerging,
My tongue was hers.

And I spoke liberation
In syllables unknown
To Them--surely the vocal
Silence of my heart.

Oh I like this. It made me wonder, got my thoughts trveling and left me with a smile. Nice one!!

I really like this! "surely the vocal Silence of my heart" - does it take the drugs of surgery to let us speak?

the poem evocatively brings forth the sense of birth and awakening.
