Listen to the Quiet

  True silence, such a rare thing

  This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

  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.
