What is silence for?

                              Silence.
                                   What are words for?
                      Painting pictures in one’s mind,
                                     Explaining death,
                           Conversing with more words.
                      Silence.
                           What is sound for?
       Making the words to paint the picture,
                            To explain death,
                                 To converse.
              Silence.
                   What is it for?
                     The pictures.
                        The death.
                     The unspoken.
      Silence. 
           That is what it’s for.
