Tinnitus

In absolute silence I hear
multitudes
Of creatures
Mingled screeches
At a frequency
Just beyond perception.
A shrill sound
High pitched
Pulsating
Growing
Becoming
A deafening roar

It surrounds me
Penetrates me
Resonating
In my very skull
The commotion of life
Keeps the burden at bay
And I have peace
For a moment
From the screams
Of silence
