Sounds of Silence

Sunday, June 17, 2012

I came across these different clips of writing my dad did.
He is one hell of a writer and I am just discovering that.

A time to keep silent,
a time to speak,
a time to learn,
a time to seek;
For our time is at hand,
and searching, we are,
Through the Sounds of Silence.

Silence is the substance of things hoped for, 
The evidence of things that are not seen. 
To every thing there is silence,
and a purpose for all reticence--
So we enter into our own
Sounds of Silence

Living silence of the heart
Is reflected in the soul of reverence
Living on completely as a part
Within the sounds of silence.

Faces are but a gallery of pictures 
Until the realm of silence is broken.
Talk is nothing but a useless symbol 
Until a meaningful work is spoken.

As silhouettes bearing little distinction,
we struggled upon nebulous shadows
Seeking answers of what to believe 
or what not to believe
As with the rising of the sun
the silhouettes have acquired features
Blossoming into individuality
through the Sounds of Silence.

A tender experience today,
awakens a cherished memory tomorrow. 
Laughing, talking, singing or
dreaming, all are reflections in the Sounds of Silence.

What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done;
Regret not your past
for it will only shape your future. 
Keep faith in all you do,
and you will possess everlasting hope
Within the Sounds of Silence. 

Pretty good eh? 
Inspired me to say the least.
Now enjoy the ever so wonderful Simon and Garfunkel.
My Daddy said this was his inspiration.
