14

Is it the quiet that stopped the rain
Or did the rain bring the quiet
Quiet and silence move like an animal
It stalks those that do not see it
It comes and goes as it pleases
I have made friends with silence
We help each other
Like a kitten rubbing your leg
Silence returns subtly and says hello
I will go now and ask it to stay with me
It will inevitably leave
But it will not leave for good

the one thing i really appreciate in your writing is that which you dont reveal in words. It almost feels like each line has a secret hidden invisble line inbetween. Like there are two poems in one, the one I am reading and the one I am not privy to- hope that makes sense
