Sound of Silence
There is nothing called silence,
There is sound in silence;
As there is always been.
Did you hear the sound of silence? ?
It is very neat,
Grim and
Fierceful.
But is it always that?
It can sound like the waves in the ocean;
The falling water of a waterfall;
The dancing of raindrops;
Breeze over the trees in the forest;
Song of a cuckoo or nightangle;
Chirping of birds in a smoggy morning in winter;
Weeping of a willow;
Bell of a church;
Groaning of a love making couple;
Heartbeat of a baby in mother's womb;
The very first word of a child;
Giggling of a baby;
Moaning of a burnt patient;
Sobbing of a widow;
Crying of orphans in war;
Something that symbolizes life;
Depends on how you want it to be.
Coz after death it's all, literally,
SILENT.
