Count To A Million Thread!

3535

Sorry, folks, I lost track of this thread … and kudos to whoever it was that selected Robert Service for the last count-up.

It’s well past midnight, so –

Hello darkness, my old friend,

-“BB”-

3536

I’ve come to talk with you again,

(No problems, Bill–welcome back! And great selection.)

3537

Because a vision softly creeping

3538

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

3539

And the vision that was planted in my brain

3560

Still remains

3561

Within the sound of silence.

3562

In restless dreams I walked alone

3563

Narrow streets of cobblestone

-“BB”-

3564

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

3565

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

3566

When my eyes were stabbed by

3567

The flash of a neon light

3568

That split the night…

-“BB”-

3569

And touched the sound of silence.

3570

And in the naked light I saw

3571

Ten thousand people, maybe more

3572

People talking without speaking

3573

People hearing without listening

3574

People writing songs that voices never share

-“BB”-
