The Intensity of Silence.

Goldfinch60

The silence comes,

The silence goes,

But with each silence

The intensity

Becomes so loud.

    A fine write Gold. Know what you mean. In so silent places, it can actually hurt one's ears.
    Then - silence was shattered, cos I began to sing! lol.

        Sad, but true, Goldie! As time goes on the intensity will get louder and louder. But I know that your strength and your faith will overcome these louder and louder silences.

        • Goldfinch60

          Thanks Fred, those silences can be wonderful.

            I know you have the strength to overcome. I can recall my father telling me never to get drawn into pointless argument - in silence there is strength.

              Silence can be wonderful.

              Reminds me of when i was asked to stand quietly in a sound laboratory where they were testing the volume of noise generated by gas fires - after about twenty seconds the noise of blood pulsing through my ears was close to painful.
              Silence reveals the missing. The missing shouts for attention.

              Gold,
              The more she is silent, the louder are her screams! She is extremely quiet, but her body movements communicate a different
              message!

              A relatable poignant write, my friend!

              ~Laura~
