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!
