Silence Speaks

I switched off the music 

Closed the windows 

I even switched off that old fan which 

Had been struggling to come to a stop from ages

I wanted silence 

Though I Could hear the chirping of sparrows, 

An annoying kid howling from my neighbor’s house,

A faint screech from a drilling machine and 

Dhuhr(Mid Day prayer call) from a nearby mosque

I chose to write in silence today

As I believe that in silence lays the secret of ages

Have you ever tried to listen to those silent stops between your breaths?

The silences between every footstep u keep.

A silence that engulfs you between every droplet of rain that falls on you?

The silence between the tears that roll down your eyes??

I chose to write in silence because 

I love this silence between the strokes my pen takes to write a new word

I love to listen to that silence between the words u say 

I love to feel it between your laughter 

I love to feel it in your smiles

You know why I chose to write in silence 

Because that’s where I found you 

That’s where I found myself 

That’s where I would always be waiting

Its only there I live, I breathe and i would wish to perish

See, listen carefully, didn't you once ask me which 

Is that place on earth I love the most???

I say it now, this moment; you know it's right there 

In that mystic silence 

In that divine place

It’s in that silent spot

Between those musical notes you play.....
