silence

is

in itself

absurd

as a

concept

there exists

no

place

where

such a thing

could be said to

exist

what it is

is

actually

a lack of

sensitivity

to the

vibrations

and that

is the most

that can

be said

for

it

even as

the

dying

note

of a

singing

bowl

could not

be

heard

it can

nonetheless

be

felt

on the

skin

and

through the

very

air itself

for

you

and

air

are not

really

so different

merely

infinitesimally

small

alterations

in the

arrangement

of your

protons

and

quarks

and

such

small things

a

rounding error

in the

grand scheme of

the universe

a

smudge

on the

lens

of

reality

even

when

it comes to pass

that

you are

returned

to the

earth

silence

is a

fallacy

every

atom

that

comprised

you

moves on

immortal

through

such

immaterial

contrivances

as a

coffin

given enough

time

each

such

atom

powerful

energy

and always

vibrating

resonating

and

to a trained

ear

musical
