If you listen really hard,
you won't even hear a sound.
Lean your ear just a bit,
there's silence all around.
Sometimes the loudest noise,
is one you never hear.
It can leave you feeling happy,
or fill you with such fear.
It depends on what your listening to,
and what you feel inside.
It can make you want to laugh and sing,
or want to run and hide.
For silence can be deafening,
a sound barrier breaking tone.
Especially if you don't listen with your soul,
or are hearing it all alone.
