Silence, the complete absence of sound
Though some find it unnerving, much in it can be found
From thoughts and prayers and hopes and dreams,
To the very intricate and tightly knit seams
Silence, to prohibit or prevent from speaking
Though some find it infuriating, it may just be the thing we’re seeking
With time to run the mouth within the mind,
Our thoughts we understand, and our thoughts respond in kind
In the quiet depths where whispers fade,
A stillness wraps the world in shade.
No echoes rise, no voices call,
Just the soft hum of nothing at all.
The trees stand still, the rivers sleep,
And the animals of the world make no peep
In the stillness that this gift brings,
I find that mind soars and grows wings
A peaceful weight, a tranquil art,
That stirs the soul, yet stills the heart.
In silence, life's most tender hue,
Reveals itself in shades of blue.
In the hush of night, beneath the moon’s embrace,
Silence finds a way to fill the empty space.
A language of its own, where nothing needs to be,
Yet in its calm, the soul is truly free.
