<u>Listen to the Quiet</u>


    <u> </u>


    True silence, such a rare thing

    Loud by contrast, eerie by right


    Ever sought but never found.


    To search sky, land or sea


    And underground, trapped with the rhythm of the Earth.


    Find a quiet room, lock the door;


    Hold your breath then listen,


    For the sound between the heartbeats.


    Still silence eludes.


    Only in vacuum shall ever be found


    A thing so loud as the absence of sound.
