The Grammar of Silence

Words fracture before they reach the listener's ear—syllables catching like breath against glass.

What lives in the pause? Not emptiness, but a held note, the musician's rest that shapes the song.

We speak in the margins now, in the white space where meaning pools like light after rain.

Between your question and my answer, a whole universe unfolds— thick with everything unsaid.

The silence is not absence. It is the space where we become known, where listening is finally louder than speech.
