How do you speak?

Unless you have a voice

To humbly appoint words

As your counteractive companions

One by one

They roll off the tongue

And as the neck trembles

Vibrations create waves

Suddenly, there is sound

There is life

To he who has ears

That he too should hear

How do you listen?

To silence, then

How do you hear?

The absence of sound

The golden remnants

Of peaceful moments

Last forever

As do you

For, in silence

The ears become weak

The heart becomes strong

And, alas, you can hear

The mighty voice within
