#The Sunday Whirl ~ Wordle 489 ~ #Poetry

When silence comes knocking like a jackhammer
It’s time to run
Check your bank account
It may not be a good time to take a risk
So shelve that new idea
Don’t let that heavy metal feeling bend your spine
Shake the cobwebs from your mind
Try not to step into it when crossing the yard
Shower, soaped, you dry yourself down
Your mind wrapped in a haze
sleeping within the sound of silence…

    I loved the Simon & Garfunkel version but was amazed at Disturbed’s version. Have you listened to it?

        I feel like they both convey a valuable message as the message is the same, but the remake feels like this is how it should have been made to begin with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Dg-g7t2l4
