The sound of silence

Written to the prompt Silence for the local poetry club 

Not all sound comes from noise.
Sometimes the loudest truths live in the quiet between words.
Listen closely as silence has stories to tell

The sound of silence

Silence
an underrated sound
in a world of noise.
A tool to turn chaos
into soft connection,
where energy carves
the air itself
and settles into fibres.

An eloquent answer
when words aren’t valued.
Dust of empty words
blurs the vision.
Silence clears the sky,
its hush
shocks the thunder.

The pause
where truth cuts through
the noise and motion,
the key to mental clarity,
the entrance
to wisdom’s chambers.

A space
where tension simmers
between notes.
Where emotion gathers
its breath
and bursts into the echo
of melody.
