The Syntax of Silence
In the interlude between breaths,
silence hangs like a ripe fruit,
heavy with unspoken histories.
Here, in this moment's hush,
the world writes itself anew —
each atom a calligrapher's brush.
Silence: not absence, but presence
distilled to its purest form,
a language beyond the reach of tongues.
It speaks in the spaces between stars,
in the pause before dawn breaks,
in the trembling of a leaf's shadow.
Listen — can you hear it?
The whisper of time folding in on itself,
the murmur of memories yet to be born.
In this quietude, continents drift,
galaxies spiral, and butterflies
dream of their unformed wings.
Silence: the womb of all sound,
where every possibility gestates,
where the universe composes its symphony.
It is the blank page of existence,
awaiting the ink of our being,
the canvas for our fleeting marks.
In its depths, we find ourselves —
fragments of stardust and story,
suspended in the vast unspoken.
This silence, this eloquent void,
holds more truth than all
