Silence World

Silence world!
And listen to the birds singing.
Hush your engines, your factories, your foolish talking.
Listen to the wind blowing through the trees.
Count your ancient memories.

Silence world!
And find time to dream.
Hush your cars, your freight trains, your politicking.
Listen to the sun falling in the sky, your baby cry.
Linger on thoughts of future songs.

Silence to pray
Silence to think
Silence to hear the beat of your heart

Another day.
