Ah, Silence.
My favourite sound--
For it is indeed a sound--
It is the tension between enemies,
The passion between lovers,
It is the voice of a god,
As well as the prayer asked of him,
And sometimes, it is his answer.
It is the sacred moment before the unholy,
And the unholy secret behind the sacred;
The sentient being that grips us in terror,
Or in protection.
It exists as a space between. |
