Antithesis of Silence

Silence

Is amazing.
Peaceful like a single cloud in the sky
Refreshing like a cool glass of water.
Enveloping like a comfortable blanket.
Nurturing like an old friend.
Why, then, do I not make dates with it more often?

Silence

Screams at me of emptiness
Brings to me fears imagined
Unsettled pangs of loneliness for times when loved ones were near.

A long empty corridor with no open doors.
