The Return

Twelve years, closer to thirteen
did Silence reign, absolute
Nothing was Above, nor Below
I was that Silence, mere shadow

Then there was The Music
relentless in the background
barely audible, yet constant
Softly, Silence began to speak

Not aloud, no, not yet, shh
Silence put pen to paper
music filling mind with colors
translated into hesitant words

The colors, muted at first
brightened as time passed
Music drove Silence away
Words returned, so too Life
