When Noise Suddenly Kept Quiet

He always kept on talking.
In a loud voice, he let listeners
mark his sword of words. 
With a scream, he painted 
the dream’s delight and colors
in the plateau.
He ranted when the daybreak
gradually dawned.
He gladly viewed in the air 
the energetic flap of nurtured
trust and answer.
Until the strong current pursued
and forcibly silenced him, 
the murmur of waterfall 
and the giant cascade investigated him,
the flying sharp splash shouted at him.
The fierce eyes stopped him, 
the castigating claws and furious fangs 
in the woods rebuked him.
Only then he uttered no sound.
Only then the deafening hush roared 
like a mute thunder.
Serenity with sincerity.
Tranquility with deep 
wisdom and policy.
