My Life In Word

SOUND OF SILENCE

To some
The sound of silence
Is deafening
Because they cannot find retreat
From the thoughts that move 
About their minds
Like the scampering of feet
They run from the silence
In hopes of hiding
From the blade of self-talk
That is nagging and chiding 
It is silence they find frightening
They prefer the distraction of noise
They cannot comprehend
The beauty of silent joys
That come from deep within
When one gets to know oneself
It is like reading from the book of life
That has been place upon a shelf
