The Sounds of Silence
The morning was mute, quiet and still as I awoke from a peaceful rest;
The Sounds of Silence
The morning was mute, quiet and still as I awoke from a peaceful rest;
The sounds of silence were a soft calm and peace was mine -
I was blessed.
A hushed world was solemn in thought at the silence all around;
A hushed world was solemn in thought at the silence all around;
Snowflakes fell like pure-white feathers
and never made a sound.
A lull like this, in a busy world,was Nature's gift of wonder;
A lull like this, in a busy world,was Nature's gift of wonder;
I stifled thoughts of anything
that might put it asunder.
For just awhile on a winter's morn, I turned within, in awe;
For just awhile on a winter's morn, I turned within, in awe;
Listening to the sounds of silence
and the beauty that I saw.

Love the picture and the poem. Thanks for visiting my attic! Love your attic tale of the 30-year old highchair. Hope you got a good price for it -- could be an antique!
