In the absence of sound,
words seem to find their weight—
heavy, substantial,
like stones in the palm of one's hand.
Silence, a canvas so vast
it holds every possibility of thought,
yet remains untouched—
a paradox of peace and turmoil intertwined.
In the hush,
even the heartbeat becomes a proclamation,
loud in its solitude,
echoing in the chambers of the soul.
