Silence Silence Has a beauty of it s own A haunting lonely melody To cherish when alone The silence that surrounds me Is soothing as spring rain Shields me from their hypocrisy Removes me from my pain The silence of my loneliness The silence of my loss The silence of your departure Of love that I have lost Though silence a thing of beauty be Though it s melody may set me free I have learned of it s great irony By the silence of your death control
