Collection of the dark days

Silence

The sound of eternal silence 
The most deafening thing you'll hear 
The silences that seem to stretch forever 
It's part of our daily lives 
Whether you know it or not
But it's there, if you listen 

It's both good & bad 
It's before a yes 
or before a no 
It's before that final goodbye 
or that first hello 

It;s in the night & the day 
It can be comfortable 
or not 
It happens at the best of times 
and the worst 
It's in the wonder of the world 
and it's terror 
It comes along with the good news 
and with the bad 

Now do you see?
That silence is more than nothingness 
Silence is everything 
and nothing 
All at once 
More a part of your life than you'll ever know
