*Silence

Silence is an odd sound
A deep wailing sound
Like sirens wailing in your ears
Or wind whistling through
And old abandoned house.
It’s a pleasant sound
Though rarely heard
And most often drowned out
By the clamour of other sounds,
Less provoking sounds,
Like music, traffic
And the swell of human activity.
No one want to hear silence
When it’s there,
And everyone wants to hear it
When it’s not.
