SOUNDS OF SILENCE

The crickets orchestrate an evening symphony
a distant lonesome call of a runaway train
Blue Jays shriek endlessly to worn those willfully
and friendly pattering of tin and heavy rain

A childs whispering that leads to happiness
all missing, shockingly, at a drop of a hat
when lovers passionate sigh of togetherness
form the sounds of silence, deafening as all that.

*sigh* absolutely perfect. I was able to hear every sound and then lost myself in the passionate sounds of lovers that silenced all else. BRAVO!!!! Very well done, Craig.     I love it, of course.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Cool sounds there. I like this, specially the last two lines

when lovers passionate sigh of togetherness
form the sounds of silence, deafening as all that.

That is a lovely sound indeed
