A Poem To Be Spoken Silently
By Oliver C
Published 16 September 2021
It was so silent that I heard
my thoughts rustle
like a paper bag.
It was so peaceful that I heard
the sun blazing through
the clouds in the sky.
It was so silent that I heard
the clouds rustle.
It was so silent that I heard
the water gush like
lava flowing down a volcano.
It was so silent that I heard
a person whisper to its neighbour,
“it’s a sunny day today”.
