sound of silence

silence speaks
you don't need to listen
compassion can't be heard
it makes you tremble with its power
compassion is the sound of silence
feel it, tears might rock your world.

your emotions vibrate
through silence they transmit
through the language of silence
a mother  feels the pain of her child
sweethearts feel the love of their sweetheart
friend feels the sanctity of friendship

i find peace exploring the extremes of silence
trees are calm and silent
mountains are still and zipped
lakes are mute and iced

yet they add life to our lives 

nature is mum
but it makes my eyes teary when i listen to the songs of nature

if i am silent it doesn't mean i don't exist
if i am silent it doesn't mean i do not care
if i am silent it doesn't mean i can't
if i am silent it doesn't mean i do not try

i might be existing somewhere
be it in someone's imagination.
i might care as much as you do
and may be more than you expected
i might scale good heights
may be touch the top someday
who knows
i might be giving my best

i smile when i hear the sound of silence
and then silence smiles back
it gives me hope
what if i am silent
i have so much to say
listen to the sound of silence
and i have so much to explore

songs of silence i sing
sound of silence i listen
silence smiles
and i smile back
i find peace in silence
i find hope in silence.


silence smiles
and i smile back
