Sound of Silence

I have heard many people say that the silence is deafening,
I guess they are so used to the noise that they find this threatening.
We love to say speech is silver and silence is golden,
but alas its an adage we give a thought about very seldom.
You can run, you can hide but you cannot escape silence, its within you,
Just like your shadow walks with you every step of the way even when you don't want it to.
Silence is not just observed by the thinkers or the dead,
it can show us where we are right now and where we are headed.
Observe the placid waters clearly, one stone thrown and millions of ripples appear,
Just like one stray sound can make the silence disappear.
There is no escaping the sound of silence, its within you, that is clear,
it goes with you everywhere and is present whenever you want it to appear.

Thoughts

Thoughts in the air, flying like kites.
Let them go and reach great heights.
For every kite there is a thread attached,
to pull it back if there is a catch.
The kite can fly with a great amount of freedom and space,
but remember it never feels that this is a race.
A kite can cut another kite only if its directed to by its makers,
just like many of your ideas may have no takers.
A kite once cut can still take to the sky,
your thoughts better refined can catch someone's eye.
The direction of the wind is what influences your kites flight,
your mind should tell you of your thoughts are wrong or right.
There is ample space in the sky for each and every kite,
just like your mind can remember everything on which you ever set sight.
Never let the kite lose its height, its originality,
because your thoughts don't show your intelligence, they display your personality
