COMPLETE SILENCE

There will never be complete silence.

There will always be the sound of the wind whispering softly.

There will always be the chirping of cicadas.

There will always be the rustling of leaves in autumn.

There will always be the cry of a baby for its mother.

There will always be your neighbor’s voices reverberating through the walls.

There will always be the sound of a wolf howling.

There will always be the sound of a flock of birds flying overhead.

There will always be the sound of a river racing towards the ocean.

And when all those things do stop, there will always be a sound that few people can claim to have heard.

There will always be the sound of a heart breaking.

You see, there will always be silence somewhere.

But, there will never be complete silence.
