SILENCE

SILENCE

Shush and listen to it

Not a sound

Not anything

Total, total silence

Not a bird in the sky

Flying by

Quietness

Stillness

Motionless

Oh what tranquility

The feeling of calmness

The sheer silence

Harmony

And serenity

I can sit here with full composure

With pose

Self-possession

Self-control

The trees and bushes

Hushed into silence

Not a single breeze

A waft floating by

So still

You could hear a pin drop

Close by

Enjoy the silence

The stillness

Before it passes you by
