Soundless Voice

Silence can ever be so eerie to listen to

Like how do you hear quietness?

There's literally no sound except your breath inhaling and exhaling the oxygen and the carbon dioxide of life.

The silence of a room forces me to think about what I have tried so hard to suppress with my business of life

However, the silence of the early morning hours shouts the loudest in my ears

Funny how silence can speak to me in such a way that is much more effective than any sound advice given by a sage of life

The soft quietness of the evening brings forth reminiscing the warmth of having family and friends around laughing and having the grand time of the world

Then when the day turns to night it is there that the loudness of loneliness strikes the heart

It is the soft whisper of the night that reminds the soul issue left unresolved

It is as if the longer the day goes by the more thoughts can creep up and reminds the heart that there are unfinished business left unsettled and it is not the mundane daily tasks with unchecked boxes next to it

But rather the mourning of the soul longing for closure of broken relationships, peace in the family, purpose in life, and answers to countless questions.

Silence..... The most mysterious speaker of the soul and mind can ever be so eerie to listen to yet only few listens to the voice of quietude.

I guess I must get used to this soft voice since my progressive hearing loss condition will slowly silence all the external voices in my life.... Or so the doctors tell me.

That was over 20 years ago and I'm still waiting for the silence to come.

Oh well, I guess I better get used to this soundless voice; for it will be the only voice I can hear.
