Silence is a dream
A distant dream
So far away
It can't be seen.
A silent dream
A silent scream
So silent
It can't be heard.
"Silence!"
The teacher screams
And silence echoes all around.
An autumn leaf falls
Softly, silently to the ground.
The congregation echoes "Amen!"
As the silent prayer comes to an end.
The sun setting so silently every evening
Beneath the glowing horizon.
A gentle flowing river, in a valley
So quiet it seems
Until it comes out
Into the roaring, rushing sea.
Silent secrets
Told in confidence
For no-one to hear.
People watching, staring
With silent eyes
People listening, learning
With silent ears and silent minds.
Mime stories told
With silent hands
The movements flowing
With no sound.
Silence surrounds us
There is silence all around.
