Silence...

being alone
a crowd of strangers
surreal silence

striking silence
thoughts start pouring in
solitary racket

    I do think sometimes a person can be VERY alone among strangers...and perhaps this is the most difficult kind of silence of all.

    it is amazing that there can be so much silence
    in a crowd of people...and loneliness as well.

    Loneliness in a crowd and thoughts making a racket in one's mind are certainly very disturbing occurrences.

    There can be a silence within, even with a crowd outside. Nicely written.

      Silence is essential... and silence can be painful...
      Perspective matters!

    It is pretty surreal when you are with a crowd you don't know and have not struck up a conversation with anyone...and all seem intent on their own conversations.

    We carry our own silence within us even if surrounded by a noisy crowd. Lovely, Nimi!
