Silence

Some people say silence,

Is a bad thing.

Some people find silence,

Quite awkward.

A lingering pause filled with obligation,

To fill the air with words,

That will be soon forgotten.

Some people say silence,

Is empty.

But I don’t think that at all.

Sometimes there’s power in a moment,

Of silence.

Sometimes silence is a deep breath,

After a bone quivering cry.

Silence is the mountain air

That fills my lungs.

And reminds me that I’m still breathing,

That I’m still alive.

Some people say silence,

Is lonely.

But I don’t think that at all.

There’s a difference between loneliness,

And soul-cleansing solitude.

When I think of silence,

I think of early morning walks

Through the dew kissed grass.

SIlence is the moment before the city rises.

And silence,

Is my favorite time of day.

Some people say silence,

Is boring.

But I don’t think that at all.

When I think of silence,

I think of intriguing contemplation.

Of vivid reflection.

Silence is the space in which my mind works best.

Where I can lose myself in thoughts,

That’s aren’t so silent.

Some people say silence,

Is a bad thing.

But I don’t think that at all.

Silence is refreshing,

Silence is healing.

And when you can find comfort,

In a moment of silence,

Silence isn’t as scary anymore.

Wow, you took the word silence to a whole new level... I for one find silence being very lonely and depressing, but then again everyone feels differently... Silence can be very calming and reflecting at times, and other times it can be scary. I'm glad you like silence, because for most people silence is a burden... Great job, keep up the good work!
