THE SOUND OF SILENCE ~ BRIAN ~ A DODECET !

ANGELA & BRIAN



 

 

PAUL SIMON & ART GARFUNKEL NYC 1982

 

I WOKE UP ~ Monday Morning

Something was wrong ~ so so quiet

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

NO beeping horns ~ squealing brakes

NO barking Dogs ~ or howling Cats

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

Mister Jones running for his Train ~ on SKIS ?

The penny dropped ~ We were hushed by SNOW !

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

THREE FEET of SNOW had silenced the VILLAGE

THREE FEET of SNOW had created a WONDERLAND.

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

I rang the COLLEGE ~ a recorded message said .....

COLLEGE CLOSED due to SNOW ~ don't come in !

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

I Skyped ANGELA ~ she cried when she saw the SNOW

Its been 28C (82F) here* today ~ Send in the SNOW !

I showed her my CAR buried under the SNOW

And I thanked GOD ~ I wasn't Senior Management

THE SOUND OF SILENCE !

 

Thanks for visit ~ comments please ~ LOVE BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡

*ANGELA is on Work Exchange - AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND

    Oh lol, the sound clip is silent! It says you have not provided a valid SoundCloud URL.
    I know it's 'The Sound of Silence' but that's going too far! heehee.(ahh a video has appeared since).
    Is it like my 'Silent Poem'? It has 3.694 verses, but no-one knows when it ends, cos there's no words to it! lol.

      THANKS UNCLE STEVE ~ Pleased you got the S & C Video ~ it made me cry ! They are both still alive (78) but they dont sing together no more ! I love WORDLESS POEMS my fave is ANARCHY by William Wordless as he gazed on the 21st C Desecration of his Beloved LAKE DISTRICT ! I love it when all is silent and blanketed in SNOW. It happened in NEWBURY (so I am informed ) last week !
      Blessings in abundance

        So true, snow does bring silence to our world, it also brings joy as when you walk out in the snow everybody says good morning.,

          YES INDEED UNCLE ANDY ~ To every snow cloud there is a Silver Lining ! The silence imbued by the SNOW releases our toungues in greetings. It also ameliorates neighborlyness ~ good 14 letter word for a self contained American acrostic sonnet ! Neighbours clear Pensioners Driveways and shop for them etc etc. The GOOD BOOK asks the question ~ Have you entered into the Treasures of the Snow ? God knows best !
          Every Blessing to YOU and JOYCE

          Certainly brings silence but here in middle England we haven't seen a single flake so far this winter. Might be good in some ways but I'm thinking of the proliferation of insect pests which have survived and which will be eating our crops later in the year.

            THANKS UNCLE STEVE ~ Perhaps the best (snowwise) is yet to come ? Royal Berkshire certainly got ot its share ~ My Cousins BMW was frozen to the ground at the top of his drive ! No snow in our TOWN yet ~ I used poetic licence. I felt sad about S & C who ended their collaboration 50 years ago (1970) with Bridge over Troubled Water !
            Abundant Blessings for the week !

            GRACIAS OSO GRANDE : I LOVED THIS ! Love Simon & Garfunkel : Sound of Silence is on my fave list ! Its time for bed here (missing you but I have Your BIG TEDDY !) and it has been 28C here (82F) and all Winter (July August) not a Flake of Snow. When I come home in NOVEMBER Im determined to do NAKED SNOW ANGELS (in my Bikini !) the first time it snows !
            MUCHOS BESOS y ABRAZOS ~ Todo de Mi Amor

We will visit the Franz Josef Glacier on S Island when I come in April and you will see SNOW ! Can\'t wait for the UK Winter (when you will be home again) to see the NAKED SNOW ANGELS ! I\'ll join you in my thermals don\'t want Willy Woodpecker to get FROST BITE !
              Abrazos y Besos y Todo de Mi Amor tambien !
