Silence

I listened to the waves crash,

The rustle of leaves in currents of wind,

To the song of content birds

All to escape the silence

That echoed against the walls of my mind.

 

But when I tuned them out

I heard music within me playing wildly,

And I learned that it could never stop

And there was no such thing as silence.

Love the rhythmic flow. It is a poem and all, but has
The ability to be a short story as well. In the end It seems as though
You can't stop thinking even though you tuned out everything
There is still a little storm brewing in your mind.
Anyhow well done and keep up the solid work

This is beautiful! There is always music, weather it be within or other wise. THe world creates music. It could be a combination of the leaves on the trees making a rustling noise and the tap of an impatian body that sings to you but there is ALWAYS mused. :)

When we listen to the vibration within, it mimics the vibration of the universe. Great Write!

That is pretty epic lol. I liked it a lot.

I could really hear the sounds describe in this, crisp and wonderful. A very calming and soothing piece, yet solemn at the same time. Nice job, keep it up~

100/100!!
Love the last line
And there was no such thing as silence!
this is the best line in any poem I have ever read!

[Linear]

The sounds of silence often resonate so loud that we cant hear it, till we consentrate our minds.....lovely poetry

[SpokenWord]

being focused even in silence opens us up to many things. This poem is relaxing down right peaceful.
