If Life Was Like a Poem

Silence

The sound of the world fills my ears
Talking, laughing I always hear
The buzzing of the world so loud
My body goes numb, alone in the crowd
Sounds are lovely, I do agree
But mostly sounds are not for me
For nothing is as lovely to hear
The sound of silence always near
Not a rustle in the wind, nor the call of a bird
This is the moment where silence is heard
It's not in the wind, not in the trees
Not with the birds, or with the bees
The song of silence is singing quietly
Under the roar of the world so wildly
There is one moment were the world takes a breath
Some people call the sound of death
But do not fear
When silence is here
Do not numb you ear to the quietness
Do not worry my friend, do not distress
For you only hear it once in a while
What the world says about it is really quite vile
Listen not with your ears but with your soul
This is how you'll reach your goal
Silence isn't a time to be weak
For silence is when our God speaks
To every man and woman in the world
He talks to us in a beautiful swirl
Of calmness, peace, and tranquility
Oh great God this time must be
The moment He enjoys the most
He never scolds or never boasts
Silence turns His words to sound
Even when no one's around
Stop to listen and you will see
Silence is the place to be
