Silent Noise

Silent Noise

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh............Listen!


Listen to the silence
It has no beginning, no end
Yet it exists, exists for you to hear
Its presence......listen...
as it unveils a shadowy realm
of empty echoes

Peaceful

Resounding

Rushing

Disturbing

Reverberating against empty walls
Spans of nothingness
Void of sound, even a whisper
Yet, its vacuous presence is audible
in the deepest recesses of the mind
Piercing events of a day's experience,
arranging, as it ventures into
your somnolent state
brewing within the subconscious

Dreamily you drift,.....

Close your eyes to sweet sleep
There is, ... there is a silent noise
becoming a loose reality
within the deepest chambers of one's soul

Listen........... Shhhhhhhhhhhhh....
Ever, ever, so close
Do you hear? Can you hear?
The silent noise...................
