The Sound of Silence

Silence is sure without a sound 
It does come around quite noiseless 
It could come as a resounding one 
It could also be a deafening quietness  
Silence could come in heavy manner. 

Silence does come in a thunderous wave 
When a single sound amplifies in echoes 
Pronouncing the intensity of the silence  
When a silent whisper becomes a shout 
Rippling the ambience of quietness. 

Silence silently creeps on to be
In silence a pin drop becomes a clatter 
Some silence the bemoan of grave yards 
A loud drumbeat a heartbeat becomes 
Everyone hears the sound of silence.
