Silent Noise

Ssilence reigns in the kingdom 
where the night is silent 
only one dog barks at the dike 
it has not received satisfaction 

is trapped, is not free 
alas, a decision by his boss 
life passes him over 
then you go barking mad and foolish 

but otherwise there is a deep silence 
an intense feeling of peace
the wind rustles through the trees 
and a whispersong sings of reason 

even tapping of the rain 
nature that holds its breath 
no more traffic on the roads 
This is the silence I like

feels like peace of being satisfied 
and calms my grateful mind 
can I enter my own path 
that goes very well in silence 

listen intense to the silence 
to the silencing of the night 
think of all those getting it all
but are despised by so many 

silence in their own kingdom 
I wish that to everyone 
volume control balanced
silent noise among all people.
