Oh, my love, how I wish... you were here by my side so we could both surrender To this beautiful solitude, this peaceful, intoxicating silence I'm blissfully lost; killing precious time. Time I wish I could stretch... the length of the Nile River. Mute, confused ships can't seem to decide whether they're coming or going The sky is slowly changing before my eyes As the cantaloupe melon Sun fights to stay afloat over the horizon. Silence is interrupted... by the ebb and flow of the faint tides, sweeping time out of my pristine mind crying out your name in hushed tones. We both miss you so. As the calm wind sighs and whispers soft yet incomprehensible language into my pleased ears I wish you were here To bask in this soothing sounds of silence with me NA the day away Poetry Contest Sponsored by Lu Loo (Winner: 1st Place) Submitted on 09/03/2019 Sound of Silence Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Hamilton (N/A) Date written and submitted: 07/27/2019
