The Scream

Figure on cliffside walkway holding head with hands
by Edvard Munch      

On an evening walk at sunset
there seemed to be a silent scream
as the sky turned a shade of blood red
my head began to pound…

Sometimes, nature screams louder
than the voices in my head. These
haunting whisper, will they ever
cease ….

  2. That's one of my favorite paintings. I agree, nature screams the loudest if we only turn our heads and listen. Love your choice!
