A Tête-à-tête with Silence

Many moons ago, there was someone I didn't know,

Not very friendly, but she liked to go with the flow.

'Silence', she was called, came to meet a select few,

As a kid, ‘noise’ was all that I knew!

Fun, laughter and lots of merry-making,

No worries or fears about people faking.

'Trust' was a familiar word, easy to believe,

I wouldn't feel hurt too often, it was easy to forgive.

Gradually, I understood what ‘quiet’ meant,

In memory making, time was happily spent.

Indulged in star-gazing and watched seasons taking twists & turns, 

Fell for words, blushed at poems and laughed at jokes 

& puns.

Befriended emotions and feelings. To my surprise,

Silence was indeed noisy, she had the powers to lovingly mesmerise!
