Silence Poem

As the end of the school year approaches, please enjoy the final eighth grade post. In the following poem, Brearly S. presents deep thoughts into the topic of silence.

Silence

Peacefully, softly, tranquilly.

Water falling fast,

but soft

Blues, greens, teals show

as the sun shines

its bright rays

so quiet, so peaceful

The scene so quiet. The only thing heard

is the soft pitter-patter,

as water hits water.

So quiet as if

in its own bubble with all outside noises

gone.

Even the people who come

make little noise

almost as if they were afraid to disturb it,

As if the whole thing would shatter

with the smallest noise
