Should I write

but should I?


The Subtlety of Silence

Shadowed behind sound

Always waiting to burst

Like light and dark, their destinies are bound

Nevertheless, calmness was the first

Our quest for order,

Made it’s brother seem eternal,

Silence though purer,

Strikes as abnormal

The silence of love, maddening

The silence of nature, pleasing

The silence of life, incomprehensible

The silence of separation, painful

Silence in routine, pacifying

Silence in chaos, terrifying

Slowly yet surely, fading out of even thoughts

Silence, a tryst with it is cherished, lots
