Silence

Does the solidarity of silence outweigh

The loneliness of sound, I ask the universe

Yet the answer gently drowns in the stillness

Brandishing the chisel of free will

We render marble illusions from emptiness

A gallery of statues, fleeting as the breeze

Against the deaf silence of the void

Each choice carves the edges of our art

Etching the self's defiance against the quiet

Though we yearn for the source

We flee the silence that embraces us

Should the river fear becoming the ocean?
