Deceptive appearances

 

 

Listen to the silence
And it’s deafening echo
Listen to the hush
In the midst of an unending chaos

No words spoken
Not that it mattered
How can it be so quiet?
When there is a storm raging

The stillness belies the sadness
The tranquillity hides the desolation
The serenity conceals the scars
The silence just a deception

- S.T. Arasu
