The silence wraps around me like a blanket
Some may call it suffocating
They just don’t know how to listen
They forget how precious everything is
Packed with a schedule that just keeps
Adding
Up
Few stop
And just breathe
In
And
Out
Close your eyes
Hear the silence
A priceless wonder often thought of as a villain
Misunderstood
For only through silence
Can we face what is most feared
In a world filled with noise
Silence is blaring
Forcing us into our thoughts
Reflecting
Remembering
Sticking our ears into a meaningless jumble of sound
We ignore the words trying to get our attention
With silence we aren’t given a choice
For only through silence
Can we hear what most needs to be heard
