Silence

What is silence
Sshh I can't quite hear
What is silence
is it like solitude
a gap all alone
midway between
running words
or time playing a joke
having a rest
or lazily standing still.

What is silence
Sshh I can't quite hear
listen to the calm
you can touch peace
in this vacuous sphere
like a befuddled moon
you can't quite see
behind nothingless clouds
What is silence
Sshh I can't quite hear.
