This started as a poem, now Im not so sure what it is. Enjoy :)
Silence. What is silence, really? Is it mearly the quiet? Or is it more than that... Those moments when the world falls away around us. That split second of horror as something terrible happens that we will later convince ourselves we could have prevented. When you are over come with that passion that demands your full attention, causing you to pour all your senses into it. There are comfortable silences and uncomfortable silences. There are quiet silences and loud silences, the kind where the members of the silence all have something to say, but refuse to say it. Silence isn't the absence of noise. It's the place of deep thoughts and unspoken truths
This is so excellent! That final line really resonates with me. I both love and hate silence, and this is precisely why. You do such a wonderful job going into depth!
I think it's great the way it is. But really it just depends on what you want to do with it. You could easily add on to this. A very thought provoking piece.
I basically spend all my free time writing. Its about time I put it all somewhere :) I dont have a specific genre... I just write whatever comes to mind. more..
