Then there was no sound,
No voice.
There were people around,
they were speaking something,
I could make out the moving lips,
yet, I could not hear a word.
I tried to speak to them myself,
tell them I wanted to hear what they were saying,
I wanted to be a part of their conversation,
yet, their ears were immune to my voice.
I kept on listening,
straining my ears so that I may hear the faintest of sounds,
Finally my ears did hear something,
yet, it was only the sound of silence.
