silence
1 min readJun 2, 2019
The silence was deafening.
Its functions limitless
The litmus test of any friendship
The beauty of the void
The absence of words
He who says nothing speaks the loudest
It reveals the truth
and provides the answers
Addition by subtraction.
The eyes
A portal to the soul
The hands
A portal to the body
Nothing need be said
No words exchanged.
Its duality everywhere: music, human conversation,
And nature itself.
More real than time
It preceded our existence
And will continue long after we cease.
The gift of silence.
