Silence

Do not bother your articulate tongue

The time for speaking has ended

The thoughts lingering in your mind

Need not be forced out of your lips

Tell me a story without engaging my ear

Explain everything by revealing nothing

The sweet euphony created in silence

Makes a clear canvas for words

Our minds can formulate ideas

To float in the air between us

The World may call on us to respond to its siren calls

But we will pay them no attention.
