Sound of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoedIn the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

- Paul Simon -"Wednesday Morning 3A.M.", 1964

Not again !!

很好,又失眠了.............哇,是怎樣阿,跨年夜失眠,閒玩得不夠嗎.......好吧,一定是身體哪裡出問題了,也可能是腦袋退化引起的併發症 =___=,既然這樣,唸書! (一定是太久沒唸書,被懲罰了啦) By the way,明天一定要運動,腦內啡的刺激看來不夠了,專心也不夠........恩,也不要忘記禪定。


PS. 嘖,我沒頭沒尾在打什麼。算了,現在凌晨四點多,聽得到同學跨年完歸巢的開門聲.....精神還不錯,只是有點餓,心情卻很平靜。
