How Sweet This Silence
Alone in this beloved silence
Filled with the vulnerability
That shells itself upon me in thick its reticence
Free, for a time, of that peril in the heartless violence
I can peaceful be
Lying upon the soft, sweet earth
Overhead the swaying of contented boughs
The calm overcomes, overtakes me with its bold girth
And the world seems to me as in its birth
A simple state of slow
There is so much in the silence, gentle and reassuring
Purifying and lubricating with a brilliance
And I hate the creeping thought of leaving
Of saying goodbye to the beauty of the silence, clinging
Wishing that I might go on in innocence
Filled with the vulnerability
That shells itself upon me in thick its reticence
Free, for a time, of that peril in the heartless violence
I can peaceful be
Lying upon the soft, sweet earth
Overhead the swaying of contented boughs
The calm overcomes, overtakes me with its bold girth
And the world seems to me as in its birth
A simple state of slow
There is so much in the silence, gentle and reassuring
Purifying and lubricating with a brilliance
And I hate the creeping thought of leaving
Of saying goodbye to the beauty of the silence, clinging
Wishing that I might go on in innocence
