No whisper or sound no twitch or movement.
Cars there is none no trains or other humans.
Animals quiet and insects resting frozen.
Inside your house in the living room your T.V. isn't blaring.
Inside your kitchen no water boiling or pots and pans are pounding.
On the street you can't hear anything at all.
You know your walls have no sound and the carpet is unrustled.
In your room your bed is not creaking and cat is laying still.
Your T.V., Stereo, and computers off and your door is not budging.
Outside your window there is no wind or planes flying by.
You yourself are not moving not even batting an eye.
Don't want to move, twitch, or stir your relaxed calm.
But then you notice the silence it is deafening at first.
It is louder then kids screaming or a baby crying at night.
Louder than a concert or a helicopter starting off to fly.
Then it starts to dim down as you start to hear more.
You hear your breath steady, flexing, and flowing to keep you alive.
Next your hear the clock tick tick ticking away annoyingly on the wall.
You ignore it and lay there and you start to hear your heart.
It is rhythmic and repetitive more fragile than spider's silk.
Then you move on and hear your cats breathing and heartbeat.
Your feline friend starts purrrrring and its stomach starts to growl.
You think outside then hear a car and the silence disappears.
You loved the reach but you so know that was so intense.
You wanna hear again that Deafening Silence.
