Let not words shatter this fragile world
Let not sounds break into the silence.
As my mind slowly uncurls
And hurls with brittle violence
The thought of a word…drifting by….
An unspoken sound…unable to die…
Engulfed in a void…. devoid of expression
Suppressed without realization.
Every whisper one can hear……..
Every sound was never so clear…..
The colors speak but you don’t listen
For silence…. has you imprisoned.
You float along, just a leaf in the wind
A smile…. a tear…you never sinned
All alone with only your thought
Silence…what peace thou bought.
Every tinkle you can hear
As the glass shatters from the rear.
Words pour fourth…straining your mind
Sounds slowly turn you blind.
You stumble along searching for that void
But sound…u cannot avoid……
Silence……..elusive as before….
An unconnected dream….never to be restored.....
Silence…. is not the absence of sound…..
It is the presence of a thought so intense that everything else is drowned in emotion.
I don’t understand why silence scares people.
It is one of the most profound statements one can make about how comfortable he or she is with another. Why talk when you can listen. There is this statement someone made that keeps wandering through my head………..
“ Words are but means to hide what you truly feel”
There is also a sense of tranquility when there is silence…you can hear the whisperings of nature around you and can wonder at what you chose to ignore all these days.
