Walking through the doors of silence,

a silence the world struggles to embrace.

Pages flicking vigorously,

mice clicking impatiently,

chatter being shushed continuously.

“Just these titles today?” states the librarian,

“Yes please!” says the young boy,

excited to go on another journey.

“Excuse me, where’s the languages section?”

“To your right sir, we have many!”

These conversations are loud,

but in their own beautiful way.

There aren’t cars racing by,

nor are there people screaming in anger..

there’s just a calm, collected silence

sprinkled with sounds to make you smile.
