Silence

By Estel Elendil

An echoing silence within

No words emerge

From solemn depths

The deepest empty chasm

Where there is nothing

And nothing comes from nothing

So silence remains

The guide of my position

Leading me along

A road of blank faces and muted meaning

Where there is no noise

To resonate within

No bells to call me out and

The focus turns inward

The never ceasing struggle

To make something out of nothing

A smaller space

Created by the quiet

The room all drawn in tight

Surrounding void-

The unattainable

The only world

Exists within silence
