Introduction

This is inspired by the Vocal "Moment of Silence" challenge but I feel that the Acrostic is not a challenging enough format for me, so I have chosen a villanelle.

Unfortunately, I still have to use an Unsplash image as the editor is still messed up

The music is "The Sound of Silence" Disturbed's powerful cover of the Simon and Garfunkel song

Silence

๐Ÿ”‡๐Ÿ”•๐Ÿค๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿ˜ถ

Silence Is The Sound Of The Void

In This Place, There's Nothing To Hear

Here It Is Dead There Is No Noise

๐Ÿ”‡

All's Still, Clocks Stopped, Movement Destroyed

In This Dark Place There's Only Fear

Silence Is The Sound Of The Void

๐Ÿค

There Is Not A Thing To Exploit

From These Dead Eyes Will Fall No Tear

Here It Is Dead There Is No Noise

๐Ÿ”•

See There Is Only Hobson's Choice

A Vacuum Will Never Care

Silence Is The Sound Of The Void

๐Ÿคซ

Silence Is A Sound Unemployed

Deadening Quiet Makes It Clear

Here It Is Dead There Is No Noise

๐Ÿ˜ถ

This Is Never A Place Of Joy

Nothing Will Fall On The Deaf Ear

Silence Is The Sound Of The Void

Here It Is Dead There Is No Noise
