darkness my old friend… I`ve come to talk with you again  
because a vision softly creeping, left it 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  
beneath the halo of a streetlamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp  
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a Neon light, it split the Night

and touched the sound… of Silence

“The Sound Of Silence”

Welcome, **Subliminal** , glad to have you with us. However, as **Blue Sky** correctly points out, we do not allow quoting an entire work here. The proper procedure is to provide a link to a website sponsored by the author or by some other agency that has copyright approval. We are sponsored by the CHICAGO READER; the READER doesn’t want others lifting its work, and so we are very respectful of the copyrights of others.

I have therefore deleted most of the quoted material. If you have a link to an appropriate site and want to add that in lieu, let me know and I can edit it in for you.
