Silence!


I was silent when I was in the viva, because then I was clueless.

I was silent when he said those words, because then "it" was priceless.

I was silent when I saw her die, because then I was helpless.

I was silent when I saw someone cry, because I knew her grief is endless.

I was silent when I heard someone blabbering nonsense, because I knew it is worthless.

I was silent when I took the blame for my fault, because then I was fearless.

I was silent when I saw it happen, because then I was speechless.

I had a vision last night in which the whole world was mute. No body could speak; The only language spoken was "Silence".
It was so lively that when I saw our maid smiling at me when she was about to leave, I heard "see you tomm" from her. I saw a man holding his wife helping her walk in our park and his eyes said to her "Dont worry.You'll be fine".
An angry look on our office guard's face told me that I had forgotten to lock the cabin despite him reminding me twice.
Silence is such a boon-I'm totally in love with it :)
