Listen

Thoughts are born in silence

You and I, we were formed in silence

The most important things happen in silence

There is meaning in silence

But life is so full of noise

Hands reach for each other in silence

Secrets live in silence

Hearts break in silence

Life is so full of noise

It is impossible

To listen

To conversations in silence:

Silence ends with a Hello but

Goodbyes end in silence yet

they also begin with silence

We dream in silence

Weep in silence

Dance in silence

Sleep in silence

Silence seems meaningless

to you and to me now

But listen, before we end

in silence.
