The Sound of Silence

In the dead of night

Where the star shine like shattered dreams 

In this emptiness we search for our purpose

But it is in the sound of silence

And in this calmness of our souls 

That we find the answers we are looking for 

It is because in that absence of noise 

Our true selves come to light 

Unfolding like a secret sealed note 

So let us accept, acknowledge, and appreciate the beauty of the unknown 

For in the end it is the journey of finding ourselves that defines us.   


The author's comments:

This piece of poetry is about finding our true selves through the darkness and pain that comes with growing up and learning to flourish is that darkness instead of letting it crumble us.
