The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind. Albert Einstein


                        When whisperers are seen and colors are heard
            The lullaby is green, and my nose is full of earwax
During quiet times, we look inside sans uttering a word
Dare to be quiet in the midst of the cacophony of backs
                        Rain or serenity cannot quell the throbbing soul
No attempt was made to clog the abyss with a rule
I've heard lulls and views, and tone is an ageless goal
      In my mind, your idioms and visuals are chilly dews
            As I rubbed my heart over yours, I felt pain in my views
                        Compassion was strong, whereas anger ruined hues
Striving to shine in solar flares, a suffering of a nerd       
            No words remain; odd jives sway if we talk cracks
      Quiet screams while fear looms down the flagpole
            Silence never stops shouting, delighting the muse

"Silence never stops shouting, delighting the muse" ! Love this oxymoron! It is in silence that great poems are born and they converse in eloquent language to the world, loud and shouting ! So profound my friend, too deep to fathom. Congratulations on your first place win.
