Silence. Often when we think of it we associate it with things such as peace, tranquility, stillness. Yet it is often in moments of silence that we experience some of our most unsettling moments—moments in which we are forced to face the thoughts and questions that are often buried under the noise of everyday life. Who am I? What am I doing? Where am I going? Why? It is when the world around us falls silent that these questions often come to the surface. The poems in this collection are inspired by this Broken Silence.Excerpt:XXIIt calls meBegging me to jump inTo abandon rational thoughtTo surrender to its depthI'm drawn to it beyond my controlBy my desire to be engulfedIn its emptinessI struggle to return to realityAnd once there cannot help but to escape once againIts silent song is too much for me to resistI fall in and out of its tranceUntil I decideI must move on
