Poetry: The silence of silence is not dead silence

Silence is hidden within its own silence.
The depth of itself remains unknown to itself.
Follow the silence, by listening for its noise.
Silence's noise remains silent until you give it voice.
Silence's noise remains silent until you give it noise.
Noise remains in silence silent, until you hear it in you.
If we do not use silence, it will not use us either.
Silence only comes alive to us, when we see it in silence.
There is no silence, until silence is found within you.
A moment of silence is found, only if you find it.
The way of the quiet is found within the way of silence.
Silence winds itself around the silent until it is felt alive.

Can silence be practiced, or just felt alive, through us hearing its noise?

"that left its seeds while I was sleeping." Simon and Garfunkel the "Sound of Silence" Silence, in the song, is equated to a darkness spreading.
Silence however can be the light-gathering strength.

Yes, silence can gather God into us too.
Life lives on its own silence, until God injects himself into you, and the noise of God then awakens you to his truth, both inside and outside of time.

Life eats itself too full of itself, until it empties itself out of itself, and into God, via silence.
Silence is the diet that we all should take, from time to time too.

@Shiva49 Yes, on the one hand, silence is very good, but in this country, the women, have been silenced for too long, and are protesting hard now to be heard, and to get a voice here.
We want silence, but not to be silenced, by those in power.
Gandhi's silence was often a protest against him being silenced by the Government of the time as well.

@innertalks Yes Steve, good to set apart time for silence away from the perpetual noise around us.
I like to embrace it through whatever I do but then I know that is not the real thing.
Some have risen high in knowledge through meditation and silence like some Indian spiritual gurus and Gandhi himself was into periods of silence.
