"sounds and Sight"

Sometimes there is lightning without a storm..
There are days it rains without a cloud...
Even a blizzard at times when its still warm..
At times the sun shines so bright for me at night..
Other times in the middle of the day there is no sight..
We can talk so low that our ears may ring...
There can be screams so loud with out hearing a thing..
Our words that are written can fill a room...
Our voices shouting out with not so much as a boom..
Nothing is never the way it looks or sounds...
Only what you feel at that time is what keeps us around..

I'm with Barbara, Michael. Life can be so confusing at times. Reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence." Very nice! Love, Carolyn
