The Sound Of Silence
Hello darkness
my old friend

I've come to talk

with you again..
Because a vision
softly creeping

Left its seeds

while I was sleeping..
And the vision

that was planted

in my brain

Still remains..
In restless

dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of

cobblestone..
'Neath the halo

of a street lamp

I turned my collar

to the cold and damp..
That split the night

And touched the sound

of silence..
And in the naked

light I saw

Ten thousand

people maybe more..
People talking
without speaking

People hearing

without listening..
People writing songs

That voices
never share

And no one dare..
Fools said I you

do not know
Silence like

a cancer QI'OWS. .
Hear my words

that I might teach you

Take my arms that I

might reach you..
But my words

like silent

raindrops fell...
And the people
bowed and prayed

To the neon

god they made..
And the sign flashed

out its warning
In the words

that it was forming..
And tenement halls

And whispered

in the sounds

of silence...
