Quatrain of Silent Noise

Silent Noise - can you hear it?

Let the noise of polite silence
within your thoughts,
drown out what
is never
heard,

Friendly babble in your ears is
meant to distract, it
mutes life as if
it a curse
word.

Reason is mostly shunned
and arrayed to find
happiness that
remains very
elusive,

It is up to the soul and all
its listening, to find
whether living is
real and if
death is
conclusive.
