Silence

Silence

Voices...are only sounds and words

Spoken...but silence has a voice.

Listen with your heart

and you'll hear more than the sound of

Silence...although it can be dark and

Evil...you must not let it be.

Feel with your eyes the touch of its hand

and you'll know silence.

Words stay the same, never change

while a silent moment never, ever is the same.

Explore the beauty of this Earth

and you'll find silence

whispering through the trees your name...

Crying...floats in the quiet air through

People...when silence bears the pain

of their thoughts and words never heard

through silence....

silence...

silence...

Silence.

(Lyrics to a song written in 1978-79 by Regina Walker

for a school project...Many thanks to Mark Bennardo for

re-discovering this among his old school papers

and sharing it with me.)
