My Love Affair With Silence

Written by Mehek 

 

In a noisy and chaotic world,
It’s hard to find peace.
So much babbling but nothing makes sense.


I think silence is a treasure.
Difficult to find but very valuable.
Tranquility and serene,
That allows me to breathe.
Silence is powerful.
You would be surprised.


You will notice yourself, you can connect to
your soul.
That desperate voice in your head,
yearning to get out, will finally be heard.
Heard by you.


Silence isn’t only in your bedroom,
It's there, among the trees,
in between plants, inside a library,
and inside you.
Embrace the quietness.
For it is the solution to agony.
It is a gift.


After a tough day, seek quietness.
Let your soul and bones rest.
Self reflect and move ahead.
Silence your mind and heal.


Allow yourself to fall apart
in silence, and get back up.
You will learn more about yourself,
and increase focus.
Silence is truly golden.
