Sound of Silence

I can hear the sound of silence 

It speaks so loudly I wonder how no one else hears it

Silence has a look and feel that make soldiers cry

It chokes the air out of lungs painfully 

Silence is anything but absence it’s a living breathing creature a beast with fangs and claws

I can see the silence 

one moment it’s beautiful then the next it’s the scariest thing you’ve ever known

Silence speaks louder than some screams

It pretends it’s nowhere and yet it’s everywhere 

It creeps into a room that was once loud

It takes without any regard to a persons feelings or thoughts 

I can hear the sound of silence

It speaks so loudly i wonder how no one else hears it

Silence touches a persons soul it sinks into their very being

I’ve observed silence for so long I feel like I have become it 

Or maybe silence has become me

I can’t tell the difference now

Maybe that is the way silence intended it be
