A Silent World

When the world is silent and my fate unknown I often ponder yesterday to harbor in its shield When the world is silent too often, I’m afraid Fearful, I’ll not hear again the laughter of my love When the world is silent I listen still for hope Fervent in my feeling that harmony awaits

The poet is wary of the future, and would retreat, using the past as a shield. The silence gives him other matters to consider, absent laugher, but maybe hope of achieving harmony.

Sometimes silence is good for the soul but imagine if it was silence all the time. No music, laughter or voices, doesn't bear thinking about Mike. Tom
