Silence

Silence makes you calm?

Or does silence make you edgy?

Silence empties..

Or silence fills you up?

Silence inside a hollow tin -

Feels like nothingness,

Words with no sound,

Vaccum filled with crickets and wind,

Like insignificance tangled up in a clock

And every tick is a reminder of the void?

Or silence that takes over

Feels like wholeness,

Songs in monotone,

Isolating you in a room full of people

Like chainlocks laden with raw iron in deep water

And every breath adds a burden of existence?

Learn to let go in silence -

Break the censor,

but stay in peace;

Add a ring to the words,

Rythm to the music;

Let silence create a blank canvas

That paints what is inside,

What is you.
