Listen to silence Silence is what this #poem will not be Silence is comfortable emptiness With no sound, no thought, nothing Silence is not that individual Exposing their loud music from their headphones in the overground Speaking whether softly or out loud on the phone and mishandling your peace Silence is not the subsequent hate that arises from me then Silence is not the bright electric light in the flat every morning when the gentle outside morning glow would suffice Even though it is also not silence Silence is not even these thoughts which can't explain enough: Listen to silence Gwennaël Tristan Houdayer 27 February 2013
