Silence
Silence - meaning Summary
Understanding Silence as Language
The poem presents silence as a communicative medium between two people. The speaker recognizes a predictable "pattern" in the other’s quiet and explains that they can grasp intention and emotional tone without spoken words. It emphasizes intimate attunement: listening not for vocabulary but for the nuances embedded in absence of speech. The brief, confident statements suggest trust and deep understanding that transcends verbal exchange.
