The Silence was Deafening
August 19, 2011
The silence was deafening,
The music was stifling;
covering, vanquishing,
trumpeting, blasting.
The silence was blaring,
The music was muted;
Blasting in ears,
Ringing in heads,
Silent to the taste.
The silence was present,
The music drifting further;
you couldn't hear a sound
while it was blaring in your ears.
The silence was deafening,
amazing, astounding;
The music was stifling,
tranquil, muffled, soundless.
A wail of silence,
A pause of music;
Weaving and floating,
Twisting and looping,
A melody of silence,
The music, empty space.

Amazing!! So when I was reading this, because of your words I literally heard certain parts "loudly" and then there was no sound at all in the soft quiet lines. Great job!
