The Sound of Silence

The Sound of Silence

The sound of silence

On the blank page

No inked words written or smudged

No music notes to write

No music notes to play or record

No music video to watch on your iPhone

The sound of silence

On a blank page

Notes, chords, words, rhythm and beat

Stacked up at the bottom of the blank page

Notes and words uncontrollably interlinked

Unable to write their rhythmic beats

No words beautifully inked

Only the sound of silence written on this page

No pitches, frequencies or tempo

Fast, fast, slow, slow, fast, fast, slow, slow

Crescendo

Let a few notes go

There are no notes in the sound of silence

Only an enforced silent pause

A moment to think

A moment to look at a blank page

A moment to clear your sometimes manic head

A moment to meditate

Hear your own heartbeat

Hear your own breath

Have you heard the sound of silence yet?

Look at the blank music page

Only the sound of silence written on a page

No need for words

The sound of silence is beautiful
