The Sound of Silence Washes Over Me

 


The Sound of Silence Washes Over Me

Under the sea,
So many treasures I see
Lying in wait to surprise me.

The sound of silence washes over me
As I glide through the water so effortlessly.


How many water dogs can you fit in the scene?
Count them, then count them again;
Now, are you feeling serene?

Swimming like dolphins
 or perhaps like sleek baby seals,
They're so lovely,
with such happy heart appeal.

I can count on them 
To warm and relax my soul,
As I count away,
Looking for water dogs hiding 
and ready to play.

The sound of silence washes over me
As I glide through the water so effortlessly, 
looking for water dogs to keep me company.




Now relaxed and happy,
 I gather the sea spirits
To join in the fun;
Oh Boy! Oh Golly!
I'm having such fun.

Why not join in my play?
Put down your worries,
And come along and play.
Come on! Come on! 
We'll kick up a fuss.
Come with me for a day of play,
Really you must.

The sound of silence washes over me
As I glide through the water so effortlessly;
Letting my imagination guide my way
As I make it another great day to play.

Sue, this is wonderful! Your artistry with words as well as mixed media is always uplifting and inspiring. You've made me want to get my brushes wet today after a bit of a dry spell.

Jean! Get those brushs out and let go! It's too much fun not to be enjoying your art daily! Good to hear from you, as always!
