SILENCE

 

SILENCE

WRITTEN BY 

JEFF R HILTON 

2023

 

THE GIFT OF SILENCE

NEVER STOPS GIVING

I FIND IT EVERYWHERE I LOOK

RIGHT THERE AN OPEN BOOK

COME AND TAKE A LOOK

THE LAKES ARE BLUE

FEEDING RIVERS OF GREEN

SKIES OF PATCHY SUN 

ALL THAT WATER ON THE RUN

 

A SILENCE RANG OUT

INSIDE THE RAIN

ALL MY THOUGHTS WERE STIRRED

POURED OUT INTO A DRAIN

NO ONE WAS THERE TO HEAR

TO BE A FRIEND

IT HITS HOME

I KNOW ITS TRUE

I'M TRULY ON MY OWN 

 

ALL THIS SILENCE THIS SOLITUDE

STICKS TO ME LIKE GLUE

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE YOU

STILL EXIST

KEEP ME WHOLE I INSIST

HIGH AND DRY

FROM WATER ON THE RUN

I'M SURE IT WON'T BE LONG

BEFORE THE SKIES ARE CLEAR

CASTING US INTO

RELENTLESS SUN

 

GROUND ME WHERE I STAND

SO I CAN LAND NEXT TO YOU

WHEN THIS ALL ENDS

THE SILENCE IS CRUSHING

BUT ITS LEFT UNSAID

I'D HATE TO TEMPT A FATE

OF LESSER EVILS

THAN THE ONE THAT'S 

STRAIGHT AHEAD 

REAL
