SILENCE ISN'T GOLDEN

The Birds are Not Singing Not Taking Flight,

The Bees are Not Humming They Keep Out of Sight.

The Trees are Not Moving The Wind Has Died Down,

The Grass is Not Whispering Not Making a Sound.

As I Look Through My Window it is Strange to See,

Like I’m Watching a Silent Movie.

So Quiet and Eerie, So Dark and Cold,

It Makes Me Feel that My Life is on Hold.

Owners with Dogs Take Them Out for a Walk,

As They Pass on by Not Wanting to Talk.

People Using Mobile Phones Looking Down Texting Chat,

A Lamp Post Getting Ever Near,

Waiting to Give Them a Good Smack.

No Sounds from The Park where Children Play,

No Laughing and Screaming Throughout The Day.

Swings are Not Swinging, Roundabouts Don’t Turn,

It’s Like Life is on Pause, When Will it Return?

Silent Planes Up in The Sky,

Leaving Trails of Smoke That Catch My Eye.

Clouds are Moving so Quietly,

No Storms in The Making That I Can See.

This is So Strange I Want The Rain to Come Down,

Making a Sound when it Hits The Ground.

Is this Really Happening as I Stand Here Alone,

Feeling That I’ve Gone Into a Twilight Zone.

These Sounds That We Would Normally Hear,

Are Part of Our Lives Throughout The Year.

Taking Life for Granted as We All Carry On,

Not Really Listening to What is Right and What is Wrong.

Just to Hear a Knock at The Front Door,

Or a Car Going Past, Hearing its Engine Roar.

Just to Hear a Voice who can Sing a Song,

Where are These Sounds, Where have They Gone. (pause)

Just a Ghostly Figure in this World Now that I’m Alone,

It is Time for Me to Leave Now, It is Time for Me to Go.

But Let Me Leave You with these Three Words,

And Hold on to What I Say,

Silence Isn’t Golden,

Enjoy Life Before It Gets Taken Away.
