“To a bird’s song I listen.
Not for the voice, but for the silence
following after the song.”

What else can I say, that I have not already said, as follows…
“ The Sound of Silence ”
~ a blissful pleasure ~
Ah to be free
Of obstreperous sounds,
Man’s din vociferous
That so abounds,
Ever torturing
An anguished ear
Implied inured,
We’re made to hear
Too far beyond,
Man meant endure…
Oh for the sound
Of deafening silence,
A resounding calm
Of blissful pleasure,
In the healing balm
Of an echoes measure,
You can almost hear
Thru its quiet whisper,
That falling tear
For the sound of silence!
