Silence
Piercing my skull, splitting my head
Louder than life, waking the dead
The incessant ramblings of men ill bred
Oblivious to the pleasure of words unsaid
Pushing through the crowds, my face so grave
Knowing in my heart that all I crave
Is a space distanced from this sea of noise
Just me, my thoughts and life's little joys
Oh, the joy of hearing pure untainted sound
Like the patter of rain on God's sweet ground
And the feel of the sand and the pebbles so smooth
Even the thunderous waves sing a lullaby to soothe
Searching far and wide for the world of my dreams
That luscious piece of land like strawberries and cream
Where I stare at the stars, drifting off to sleep
Waking up to the dew drops as the morning leaves weep
With half my life gone by so fast
Realization has finally crept in at last
That the answer I seek, what I want to see
Lives deep in me, waiting to be set free
All I need to do is to close my eyes
Just talk to myself, hear my laughs and cries
No feelings to be voiced, no sound to the words
Just silence so pure that every thought is heard
