Sounds of Silence

Sounds of silence I lay flat on the smooth lawn in reverence, Gazing at the sparkling assembly of stars in silence, The wind blew peacefully leaving flowers in a gyrating dance, The ducks floating on the water in the river so tense, The usually tranquil doves quivering cold on the parks’ fence, Naughty monkeys making love in an ecstatic trance, As if in protest, the gods send heavy rains, The monkeys froze on the fence as if fettered by chains, I lay there as the rains broke the sounds of silence, Soaked with little streams meandering in grotesque despondence, I lay there in virgin admiration and adoration of Mother Nature, Mother Nature and sounds of silence worthy of standing ovation, My conscience wonders, my soul ponders, my mind shudders, Always when l lay on this smooth lawn in reverence, Gazing at the sparkling assembly of stars in silence, Listening to the serenity of the sounds of silence.
