Silence Personified

I am nature, soul of a mountain, buried under a billion snowflakes. I float like butterflies, from petal to petal. As cinereal clouds clear, under a glistening sunrise, I illuminate like a lustrous rainbow - I am daylight. I am a falling leaf, from the tallest tree. I am gravity, can you feel me? Can you hear the air you breathe? I am oxygen. I am the moon, followed by a galaxy of stars, I am the universe, lights that sparkle at night. I am Mona Lisa's smile, a photograph from the past, an unread book, a guitar without strings, a bird without a song, a blank song sheet - I am regret. I am darkness, a misplaced muse, the pause between words, the last kiss goodbye, the distance, the hunger - I am suppressed emotions. You see me in blood and tears. I have no echo. You can only hear me, when you care to listen.
