Nothing, peaceful
but is it really nothing?

Maybe our ears are just closed
and so we can't hear the silence.

And if this is true.
Then why can't we hear it?

Is there secrets in this silence?
If so then what secrets does it hold?
And why can't we know?

Would knowing be too much
for the human mind? Do the animals know? And does the grass, the trees, flowers .
do they know it too?

Oh silence
What secrets and knowledge you know?
Will you whisper it in my ear?
