Silent World

Silence they say is golden
Not when it's enforced
Let me hear again the birdsong
And the barking of dogs
Students chattering over tea
Rustling of leaves in the wind

Glad that my sojourn is temporary
In this eerie muffled silent world
Soon the sound will break through
I may grumble about noise
That irritates and deafens
But I value the variety
The music sweet and unending
Of the ordinary humdrum world
