Aditi Mishra Poet Free verse

Silence

It was neither empty nor hollow
Why was it named thus I never knew

Enchanting midnights 
Hopeful dreams
Unspoken solace
Hushed screams
Haunting fears 
Lost places
Unremoved scars
Undefeated battles
Nostalgic innocence
Regained spirit
Undying faith
Lonely victories
Joyous defeats
Whispered lullabies
Cocooned love

Saw everything
Remained with everyone
Who named it silence?
