Notes About The Poem

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again......The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"
- The Sound of Silence  - Song by Simon & Garfunkel - 1964

wistful

Listen to poem:

Wistful

running on empty
longing unfulfilled
hearing only echoes
deja vu enthralls
written on tenement halls
subway walls
