Poem by Erica

Silence is Non-Existent

Silence does not exist

In the city you hear;
The automobiles as they slip down the street
The 'thrum of electrical advertisements
The children next door

Silence does not exist

In the country you hear;
The wind rushing down the chimney on summer evenings
The goose calling out as he flies
The whistle of a far off train in the dead of night

Silence does not
Exist
