Hello? Silence...

Hello, silence, my old friend
You've come to talk with me again,
With words that will remain unheard,
In a placid pool, shimmering, unstirred,
Immersed in icy silence,
A refuge from verbal violence,
No raised voice, no argument,
But who knows what this silence meant?
Who'll remember this non-event?
You'll wonder where the chatter went,
When evidence isn't evident
And the audience stays silent
