The voice of silence

Sit next to me,

Let me talk.

For once keep quiet!

Say nothing,

Don’t talk.

'You talk too much!' she says,

And never listen!

But I do,I say..

I always listen..

To everything, that everyone says 

Yet ,you say I don’t..

Do you listen to yourself she asked?

I said..

I don't.

And then she walked away..

Left me in a trance,

I closed my eyes and gave myself a chance..

I shut out the world,

The noise and the crowd;

And wondered what’s within me..

A burning flame, a beating heart and a tiny voice

That never screams, seldom does it shout.

I sit with it every night, listening to its innocent whispers..

I shut out the world,

The noise and the crowd,

And hear my silence…a bit loud..

Sometimes I hear the sea waves roaring,

Sometimes I see the sea waves soaring.

Sometimes I hear me talking to myself,

Giving me company in a world so alone;

Showing me dreams,

Some day I may own...

I wonder why I took so long 

To listen to the silent song ?

A song that my voice sings

My voice of silence

Such joy it brings!

Yes,there are sorrows and tears too,

There are worries and fears too,

I hear my voice jumping up and down,

Wondering what’s going wrong..

And then I see myself, comforting my silence

Telling it ,that all will be all right

And that it’s been a long night.

So we hug each other and just smile,

Together we decide to travel another mile..

And keep talking..

Listening to our silence and keep talking..
