The silence has consumed me. Where are you taking me, silence? And why have you embraced me? The day has just been born. Silence... I slept quietly. Gently, in my dreams, I pieced together puzzles. I rose quietly. There is an island of life. There is an island of death. There is an island of sorrow. There is an island of joy. And today... Today, I woke up on the island of silence. It’s quiet on the earth. It’s quiet in my soul. My blood crawls silently through my veins. The silence muffles all sounds.Today, silence celebrates. Today is the day of silence. Today, it has embraced me. I open my mouth to say at least one word, but it swallows everything. It swallows my voice. It swallows my words. It swallows my thoughts. It swallows my unborn desires. It swallows me whole. And it chews... chews... chews... silently. And tomorrow, perhaps, it will quietly spit me out.
Which island will I find myself on then...
