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
