Silence

Allow all sounds to slowly fade, until they're obsolete Then let the silence echo, and when that is complete Become one with quietude as you blissfully retreat ---

This definitely echoes the word great. I like the steps leading up to the retreat. It makes the silence more profound because it doesn't come snappily. Nice!
