Penned a POEM!

Being an ambivert by nature, more often than not I find myself in the company of no other being but myself. I enjoy having people around but mostly it's the company of silence I pine for. So, the following poem is a tribute to my generous companion.
SILENCE
Stop! And listen
Do you hear? The sinuous songs of silence?
Silence is a mage,
who charms the most mundane matters
into the most fantastical of creations.
The ticking of the clock becomes
the berating of drums;
the thumping of the heart- the battering of baton.
Silence is the serpent
that crawls beneath your skin
and wraps around your throat;
Poisons the meandering matrix
into a suspended surreality.
As the venom crackles through
the narrow neurotic lanes of your mind,
you begin to witness
the superb warping of the twin mates
of Space and Time, but
only inside your head; for
To the naked eye it remains
intangible, elusive and forever
an illusion.
Ever witnessed the snow at play?
How quietly and gracefully she paints
a whole valley into a picture of white.
The portrait is coloured- yes,
only you and I don’t see it.
Why?
Because the colours are silent.
The monotony of the mundane drill
opens up to me- a reality.
A reality where-
the pomp and show of my noisy race,
is subdued by the “Great Silence”;
A reality where-
The din and bedlam of the outside world,
barely breaches the stunning quiet on the inside;
A reality where-
‘Silence’ is the loudest voice I can hear.

@jstory07 Wow so you moved to a new place? how is it? I live in a bustling city but on weekends I come back to my quaint little home town. I absolutely love it here. Peaceful and tranquil. I have always hated too much of sounds and noises.

You're a genius poet. I love your poem. I remember my favorite song, " The Sound of Silence."
