Another poem? Silence Has Got a Sound.

This poem comes with a soundtrack...or maybe the other way around.... play the song while you read... that's how I wrote it...


*******

Lost in a thought
Do you remember who you were
This time a year ago
Maybe two maybe three
And what of you now
Close my eyes and I go back to that place
Of innocence and kiddish curiousness

How have I changed
Or have I at all
The more I listened
The more I looked around me
My thoughts floated away
Into people that mattered
And didn't at the same time

They said so many things
And walked by so many times
With thoughts written on their faces
And feelings kept on their sleeves
What did I look like to them?
Was I the same
A book to read
A metaphor to understand
A symbol of life
To think about for a moment
And then move on
Walk past
With a though for later
Later in the silence

I liked the silence the most
No thoughts, no confusion
Just silence and a feeling
Like eyes opening in slow motion
To a sound unheard by your ears
But by your soul

You see it then
Silence has got a sound.
