Silence In Its Loudest, Unknown Form

Silence. 

Is it the absence of sound, or the

Overwhelming presence of all sound?

Is it the reaction to a question, or the 

Decoded answer to a question?

Is it what you want when you're 

All alone,

Or the cause of your loneliness?

Is it anything at all, 

Or is it nothing?

Is silence even there, 

Or is silence what humans label

The stillness in life 

We all unknowingly need?
