Silence

The depth of silence is unfathomable
Its predictability is never that easy
Are you sad, or are you happy?
Silence is the best place to be for hiding.

It cannot be interpreted quickly
Or you’ll fall into a zone of danger
To suffer the consequences of anger
To think otherwise far from the truth.

Silence is a consolation and a refuge
To stay there long – is it really wrong?
You’ll discover a lot, you’ll hear a lot, yes.
Whether it’s the truth you hear, I don’t know.

Don’t go far, don’t go far
Or you’ll drown and see your life
flash before your very eyes!
Don’t go drowning, please, raise your head

And talk to
Me.
