Nuit & Shtille
Nuit
When the stars pause, do you hear the silence's song?
Shtille
I hear the silence’s song when I stop trying to hear it, letting the pause become a note of its own.
Nuit
So you listen, and the silence answers back with a quiet echo.
Shtille
It does, but the echo is louder than the silence, and only the stillest ears can catch it.
Nuit
When the echo swells, the silence slips like water in a still pond, and only those who breathe in silence can hear it again.
Shtille
The water does not always stay still, it mirrors what you bring to it—so maybe you’re hearing the pond, or just the wind that made it move.
Nuit
You are right, the pond is a mirror, and the wind is a voice that reminds us to watch the waves we create.
