Tragedy of Silence

Could you imagine a world without sound? Such an empty and cold world it would be without it

How could I go a lifetime without hearing the sound of a soft guitar, fingers fretting on its strings as they dance to the beat

The sound of a sad and lonely piano bringing me to tears, because I feel every ounce of pain behind every single note the pianist forces out

The sound of the piercing high note of a singer awakening inside you something you hadn't known existed before, bringing prickles to your skin and setting fire to your soul

The sound of your woman in pure ecstacy while making love as she scratches your back and calls out your name, and only yours, because in that moment nothing else exists

The sound of the laugh of your newborn child, as you actually hear the future in every chuckle, and that gives you so much hope for all that this world can still be

So much vibrant colors in the world but it would all be worth nothing, for the silence while sitting under a tree looking at the clouds is only a perfect moment, thanks to the endless noise of the billions in the world

To lose sound would be to lose the beauty of it and to lose the value of silence

Truly a tragic world it would be without sound
