Listen Poem by Megan Colligan

Everything has a sound

Silence's is golden

rich and heard only by a few

but if you listen, just listen...

You will hear the sound of Silence too


Yet do not see it through with a faint heart,

for faint heart's only sovereign is fear

and for those who cannot stand it,

Music will revere


Sweet melodies to sour felonies

do we dabble in with sound

and when you're old and grey,

and silver has had its way

do you finally turn around...
