disturbing the silence

We let silence fill the gaps
After words have been said,
The truth is in the spaces,
Once our voices leave our heads.

There’s music in the silence
If you stop to listen still,
In the space where words aren’t spoken,
Where there’s a mind with a will.

But I speak as I do,
Disturbing the silence yet,
Comprehending it all,
And not understanding any of it.
