The silence after the thunder goes March 20, 2025

  

The silence deafens me after so much noise.

If I listen closely I might hear the distant rumble, the fading storm moving of, thunder only a vague echo of what it once was and will never be again – our lives governed by the back and forth, then thunder and then its absence, the hope followed by despair over what w cannot control, only endure, fate dictating the direction we take next, and what occurs, if we take that trek into the unknown, we living at this moment with the silence, which we must fill up for ourselves, derive meaning from the experience, after having survived the turbulence, this absence of sound that causes to listen to what we already have, the steady beat of our hearts, the drumming of thoughts and reflections, wishes for the future, we creating our own sound when we have nothing else
