Silence

Silence.
       Such a quiet sound.
It's filled with nothing,
but it brings so much peace.
Everything else seems to bring us so much
       chaos.
       Destruction.
       Disturbance.
                    All of that isn't peaceful.
                    They aren't silent.
People aren't silent.
       They're noisy.
                      They're like an explosion of sound.
Their heartbeats won't be quiet.
They never stop breathing.
They always remain moving,
                         their bones and joints
                                                scraping
                                   like nails on the chalkboard.
They never just stop.
                     But,
                          the dead ones are silent.
                                               They're peaceful.
                                      That's what we need to be.

To be peaceful,
             to achieve silence,
                               maybe we need to be dead.

Silence.
        Such a wonderful thing.
                               I love it.
                                         I adore it.
                                                    I crave it.
I would do anything in my power
                              to achieve the
                              pure
                              and
                              beautiful
                              silence.
