Silence

Irina Samuels

Silence.

It can be so beautiful, but so terrible.

Silence is that which comes before the storm

Silence is the darkness before the breaking of the morn

Silence is there when it seems like there's no thing

Silence is the softest music

Soft like downy wings

Silence.

It can be so beautiful, but so terrible.

Silence is that which is the empty void

Silence can be sadness the absence of happy noise

Silence is the companion at every funeral

Silence can force you over the edge, then smile as you fall

Silence.

It can be so beautiful, but so terrible.
