Listening for Silence


Listening for silence.
Waiting for belief.
We wish we could know
what cannot be known.

Believing in silence.
Waiting to hear.
We wish we knew more
of what is ours to grasp.

Sealed inside soundproof
Walls, he never heard silence,
Just his own heartbeat.

Footnote

Only the dead can
Hear the silence, a language
They can speak so well.
