Sometimes silence is not the absence of sound, but the inner quiet of peace and contemplation.

Gift
You tell me that silence
is nearer to peace than poems
but if for my gift
I brought you silence
(for I know silence)
you would say
This is not silence
this is another poem
and you would hand it back to me”
― Leonard Cohen, The Spice-Box of Earth (1961)
