Silence reigns, supreme,
Be it beginning or end,
Before every action,
every corner or bend.
Silence, serenity and solitude,
Peace for those who seek it,
Escape from the competitive riptide,
The sign of the Erudite.
Silence, the gaps in conversation,
the medium of introspection,
the second face of eerie quiet,
the keeper of secret thoughts.
Silence, into which all is spoken,
from which all things echo.
Entombing all sound and action,
Endless silence reigns, supreme.
