Echoes Of The Unheard

Introduction: Silence is often seen as a void, an absence of sound. But what if silence is not empty, but full? What if it carries thoughts, echoes, and emotions that we fail to hear? This poem explores how silence speaks louder than words, revealing truths we often ignore.

Silence hums in hollow halls,

A ghost that lingers, never calls.

It weaves through cracks in time and space,

A whispered truth we dare not chase.

It holds the words we left unsaid,

The shattered dreams, the tears we shed.

A lullaby for hearts that ache,

A weight too heavy not to break.

It sings in nights where shadows grow,

In aching minds that long to know.

Yet in its hush, a lesson lies,

A voice beyond the world's disguise.

It cradles hope, it feeds on doubt,

A canvas where our fears run out.

It speaks of love that slipped away,

Of battles lost, of skies turned grey.

It is the hush of lovers torn,

The quiet grief of hearts forlorn.

The final breath, the soft goodbye,

The space between hello and why.

But silence too can heal the past,

A quiet place where pain won’t last.

Where echoes fade and wounds grow light,

Where darkness bends to softer night.

For in the hush, the soul can mend,

And broken hearts can learn to bend.

It speaks of peace, it whispers grace,

A gentle hand, a warm embrace.

Yet tell me now, do you still fear,

The hush that bends so close, so near?

Or will you sit in silence deep,

And hear the truths it longs to keep?

For silence does not scream nor cry,

Yet holds the truths we can't deny.

So listen well, and you will find,

Its voice was never far behind.

And when the world is loud and bright,

Yet nothing ever feels quite right,

Embrace the quiet, hold it tight,

For silence is your guiding light.

Reflections: Silence is never truly empty—it holds memories, emotions, and lessons beyond words. Next time silence finds you, don’t rush to break it. Sit with it. Listen. You may hear more than you expect.

Why do we often feel uncomfortable with silence? Does silence reveal truth, or does it conceal it?
