Finding Silence

Today I tried to find silence,

And failed miserably.

Away from the traffic,

Playing voices of kinds outside,

And murmurs of a TV.

I waited still and alone,

In the hope that,

It would come creeping in.

But the static in my ears,

Seemed to scare it away.

So clever
I love this
The last two lines my fav

Later after I clicked out I hummed Neil diamonds beautiful noise song

[The realest]

yet again very nice read for me the last line did deliver the poem home I did feel like this could have been a stanza in a longer poem but im not really a reader thats into short poetry. The concept is amazing though the search for silence in a world full of noise.

I LOVE it. The last line especially is brilliant. "But the static in my ears seemed to scare it away." Nothing short of amazing!!

I know exactly this feeling and you portrayed it very simply and clearly. Very to the point and obvious and that last line, wow, I absolutely adore it and I am going to quote you. Brilliant.
