silence is ugly

silence is ugly. 
noise is golden.

silence is stagnant,
a break in beat.
silence is still,
the lack of life,
the wane of will.

for silence speaks only of nothing,
and the weight of our knowledge
of the constant expanding space.


noise is nourishing,
a reaction against removal.
noise is knowing,
the celebration of creation,
the glee of growing.

for noise knows nothing of nothing,
and sends notes like bottles
out into the constant expanding space.
