Silence cant be broken if it was never there People who think they hear silence don’t listen with care Silence can’t be heard for it consists of nothing So you will never hear complete silence, you will always hear something Whether it’s quiet with sadness or loud with rage Or even your own voice as you read these words off the page Or the faint voices from a conversation in the distance Or the sound of you breathing as you pause still to listen There will one day be silence sooner or later Even now I hear my pen as it scratches the paper
Reason for writing:
People are always talking of silence, but you can never hear silence because you can always hear something. So does silence even exist
