have you noticed
when we are told to be
HUSH! HUSH!
nothing is ever really quiet.
There is noise somewhere in the background.
Most people get antsy during silence,
so they click their pens,
tap their feet,
crank up the radio.
Have you actually ever experienced
true silence.
The one where there's no
humming,
no shuffling,
no dripping of faucet.
If you pay close attention,
you'll find that silence,
true silence,
is actually very
loud!
