The Sound Of Silence
The sound of silence really can be heard,
Even though no-one has uttered a word.
The ticking of the clock is there,
As I sit alone and do nothing but stare.
The traffic can be heard as cars drive by,
And all I do is sit and sigh.
Even when I think that I am so alone,
A special friend will call me on the telephone.
So with the sound of silence some things
will be heard,
Even if its the singing of a little tiny bird.
How I long to be a part of this Loving world,
Just to know my mind is not completely unfurled.
I stop and listen and try to hear,
The things in life that bring joy and cheer.
I have lost track of who I am inside,
And I am sure I washed myself away in with the
tears I have cried.
Silence can be heard and this I know for sure,
For its my inner strength that helps me to fight
and endure.
