I am enamoured of
the eerie silence
that follows
the booming fireworks,
the vacant grounds
after the carnival leaves,
and the phone call
that meekly ends
after a silent pause;
it always comes
as a pleasant surprise
when the loud world
hushes up
for the innately quiet.

It is quite surprising and eerie. The world needs to shut up more. Great writing, Aaysid! 🙂

Quietness and stillness are profound, and give way to a deeper understanding of sound. Awesome poem, Aaysid.

“The innately quiet…” Yep, I get this, absolutely. As a pretty extreme introvert, I’m incredibly quiet in real-life. I, too, love the stillness the follows noise and bluster. It’s then when things reset and settle down again. You’re not only an amazing poet, Aaysid, you also appear to be a mind-reader at times! This is a wonderful, meaningful poem and I really identify with it. 🙂
