| The silence that I hear everyday is deafening. It's the first thing I hear
after turning off the alram clock in the morning and It's the last thing I hear
at night. And in between those times there are moments of silence throughout
the day. Even moments when I am surrounded by people, I can hear the silence
that awaits me. The sound of the front door closing as I enter this house, is
one that leads to silence. Memories of times gone by are just a precursor to
the silence that follows. A child rides by on his bicycle and I can hear him
laugh, then once again, silence. The sound of silence echos throughout my mind
and sometimes I am sure that I hear someone call my name, but as I turn to
answer, there is nothing, only me and the silence the surrounds me. The walls
that surround this fixture I live in, ensure silence. My ears cannot hear for
the silence and my heart cannot feel because of it. These ties that bind me
only hold the silence closer. The path that I have chosen to travel has brought
me here, and now I stand alone, in silence. The wind will whisper every now and
then, and it reminds me that this silence has not taken away my ability to hear,
yet. I hope that one day it will blow loud enough, that I will never have to
hear the sound of silence again. |

Wish I had something to say that
would cheer you up, GTownGirl!
Somehow I think we just all need
to find our own way out. For what
it's worth....
I feel that awful loneliness from
time to time, too. As a matter of
fact it was just the other day...I
was listening to some favorite old
music of mine on my way to work
and something clicked. The tears
just rolled down my cheeks as I
pulled in the parking lot. The
song? "Which Way Did That Old
Pony Run", ~Lyle Lovett...
You know what's worse don't you?
Of course you do...feelin' that
lonely feelin' when you're with
someone you "love"...
