One egg, one toast, one silence\u2014breakfast as quiet metaphor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nSilent Noise<\/span>\n
\n

Silence isn\u2019t empty. It\u2019s curated. It arrives in flavors\u2014some bitter, some brave, some shaped like toast. I\u2019ve heard silences that thunder, and silences that tiptoe. Some come dressed as regret, others as restraint. A catalogue of hush: the kind that follows a boast, a breakup, or a badly worded email. The kind that lingers in dust, clay, and the spaces we forget to fill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

From the silence of caution
To the silence of fear
Of the tiniest portion
And to death drawing near<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From today meets tomorrow
To a half-muted boast
From a tale full of sorrow
To a fried egg on toast<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a crowd and its awe
And in thunder delayed
There are feelings too raw
There are thoughts that won’t fade<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a U-turn mistaken
And a soul led astray
And a heart that is achin\u2019
For the one gone away<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a small speck of dust
To a downpour of rain
With a great deal of trust
Comes a handful of grain<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
