The sound of silence,
Muted by the ears but heard by the soul,
Piercing the flesh as if eaten by a ghoul.

The sound of silence,
Unheard, unseen but faintly felt,
The sound of silence,
Separating me from my own self.

The sound of million crickets, thumping the ear drums,
Heard but unheard.

The sound of silence,
A bitter elixir of life,
Hallucinating obnoxious asphyxiating,
Even the screams of pain keep begging.

The sound of silence,
Take its sip very slow,
allow it haunt, allow it to flow,
because the treasure lies hidden inside the chest,

The sound of silence,
Once again it blew,
Seeping through the tortures of fluttering leaves and gusting winds,
Kissing the conscious, these sweet whispers of life,
The sound of silence, keeping my soul alive.
