Silence

Silence. 

Defined to be 

a complete absence 

of sound. 

And yet, 

silence can speak a thousand words, 

silence can be deafening. 

Silence can be voluntary,
silence can be forced. 

Silence- sometimes appreciated, 

and at some other times, condemned. 

Silence is sometimes a necessity, 

while in some other you are expected not to be. 

Silence sometimes has a rhythm, 

and yet sometimes is a chaotic disaster. 

Silence can make you calm, 

and yet drive you mad.
Silence is sometimes peace,
and sometimes the very opposite.

Silence can be a noiseless place,

and sometimes be the midst of noise.

Can one experience have so many facets to it?

Silence.

One of the most intriguing- 

of all the sounds we hear. 

Yet there is never complete silence, 

there is always your breath and mine.
