Silence

A tenuous bridge of silken thread

Connecting the dark with the light

Silence thus casts its invisible web

Mingling weakness with quiet might!

Many a time you find the world

Drowning in its cacophony of noise

It is then that silence speaks to you

Its tranquility a divine voice.

Sound pulsates in our hearts they say,

The very center of each life

Silence is the language of the soul

Battling its way through strife

Silence comes in many forms’

Forgiving- warm or brittle-cold

At times, empty like space devoid

Sometimes filled with tales untold.

A symphony which the deaf can hear

The choir in which the mute take part

Silence is the sound discerned

With closed ears, but an open heart!
