Echoes of Silence

My life is filled with silence. Sound diminishing day by day. Living is merely an existance, My voice with nothing to say. Laughter was never far away, it's joyful echo remained. Now, sadly and in dismay, There was nothing retained. Once music lived within, a lilting melody, and uplifting song. Then unnoticed, silence crept in, then music no longer belonged. There were always voices, drifting through the halls. Lively, as a heart rejoices, now there is no sound at all. Just echoes of silence now, fall heavily upon my ear. I must bring back the music somehow. Filling my heart, the song I want to hear.
