Silence...?

Do you feel silence? Or is it just something that you can or can't hear? Well silence to me is different. It's something you hear and feel. Silence is somewhat peaceful. Especially depending on who you're with. If that person is able to silently sit with you while looking in that distance, they either know what you're feeling with this wonderful silence or they're thinking of what to say next because maybe they feel silence is awkward. Silence is only awkward if you make it so. If you think it is then it is. It all depends on you but it doesn't have to be. Silence is a beautiful thing unless it's that angry silence. Find a way to be happy in that silence otherwise it's a tensioned silence which is never fun. Silence to me is peaceful, not bad, not aggravating. It's something to look forward to. Of course silence is also not only this thing that's no sound. It's also the wind singing it's silent song. It's the water mumbling to you it's secrets of the world. It's the trees telling each other what the squirrels and birds may be doing and looking down on you. Not in the sense that they think you're worthless, but in the sense that they're smiling and thinking how young and naive we may be. Silence may also be those thoughts that you've left to the side to think on later and think only of those things that are calming. Maybe it's listening to music that keeps you happy. What is your idea of silence...?
