India's Voice



Silence, silence, no words, no voice, no interruptions, no noise.
Pure, peaceful, serene, majestic.  
Silence, brings a fortified purification from pestilent notions. Silence helps ensure as well endure. Silence is hidden within the soul. It is  burried deep, deep down inside. It's hidden like foreign treasure. There is no measure how long, how far how wide silence will take you. It's bleakness reassures that within itself you are at one. Silence can be intoxicating. It will lure you in. Silence takes advantage of moments and creates memories. Silence forces itself out of a busy day. Silence promotes emotions and demotes disaffection. Silence takes you to unknown places. It  dwells in dreams and visions. Silence resurrects the dead that's in your life. Silence nurturs the inanimate that causes one to feel. Silence will cause the hurt to heal. What I most learned about silence, was that when I heard your heartbeat, I smiled. In silence I heard your breathing and it drove me wild. In silence I felt your touch but never held your hand. In the silence I no longer lay down, but learned how to stand. Silence taught me how to rise to the occasion and survive within a storm. In silence I once was broken, but now it teaches me how to be strong. Silence has spoken but cannot be heard. Silence has spoken just without one word.
