inaudible silence

disclaimer: i in no way mean to offend anyone with this poem. the intent is not to point out the flaws of others, but to comment on what true silence is.

i've often wondered what it would be like

to hear nothing at all.

it may be difficult

to understand what i mean

when i say this,

but i assure you

it is not so difficult for some.

you and i,

we hear silence everyday

and yet have no idea

what sound it truely makes.

i envy those

who have this wisdom,

for i believe that absolute nothingness

must sound so beautiful.

and yet,

at the same time,

i weep for their absence,

for there is only silence

that i cannot hear.

and they,

it is only silence that fills their ears.
