SOUNDS OF SILENCE
With a flutter and a chirp the bird flew high in the sky
passing what seemed an endless path of sand
Not a soul to laugh to speak or even to cry
the bird flew over a strange land
The sun scorched the ground
as the earth drank the last drop
the wind blowing over the sand mounds
the silence just dint stop
The bird now flew over a forest
The trees majestically stood
hatchlings crying from the nests
leaves rustled among the woods
The predator stalking its prey stealthily
the prey innocently eating not knowing the danger
silence prevailed endlessly
one movement and the prey silenced forever
As the enormous sea rippled silently
the bird saw the sun dipping below
suddenly the waters lashed as the dolphins danced beautifully
the gulls and the other birds joined the show
It all happened too fast
the darkness engulfed everything in its path
All the noise and beauty was the past
silent as the graveyard was the sea among the night's wrath
The bird continued its journey in its own pace
The snow clad peaks brightly shone
cold wind blew on its face
the mountains the king under the moon
Footprints of the howling wolves on the snow
the trees laden with ice
The almost frozen river continued its flow
the bird a silent spectator flew back in a trice
Rising royally the sun on an early dawn
the dew dangling on the leaves
the bird wakes up with a yawn
and slowly sighs and heaves
Smiling at the nature and its beauty
in what seemed the silent way
the shows that were pretty
and that lit up every day
About the bird i know not
but its our very own duty
to give about nature a thought
not to destroy and build its fury
Enjoy whatever that is around us
It is a beautiful gift in every little sense
To be among it is what thats really priceless
It is not an everyday thing...its the sounds of silence
CHEERS
schoolmates... and me...
