    Oh wow, that was so profound! Loved your Acrostic!

    A very thought-provoking acrostic, Gerard. Sometimes in the stillness, the cacophony of thought drowns meaning and robs us of peace. More entropic than existential.

    I love your choice of words and how you have described silence in an introspective way in this thoughtful piece.

    Simplistically, yet dynamically poignant in so few words.
