silence...

What is silence?
Infinite definitions I have read, each as relatable as the next, yet I ask, what is silence?
Is it that sound of there being no sound around you? But if there is no sound how then can the sounds of silence exist?
If silence is truly a sound we hear, why is it then called silence?
Thereupon, is silence then an illusion?
Silence is that which exists everywhere and nowhere, at all times and at no times, but it exists in all of these situations ‘silently’ yet simultaneously!
It is something each one of us becomes oblivious to, just because its existence is everlasting and ever overshadowed by the noises of our minds!
Silence is an emotion, that which is felt by both, the soul and the heart! Then again, who is to say that the soul and the heart are not one?
Silence is both simple and difficult to define!
It is that which calms the mind, the heart, our soul; it is that which brings us to peace!
Then again shall begin the various discussions on peace, yet those are far from bringing any silence! In this text as well, I have referred to silence in numerable ways, each one again as debatable as the next, so I ask you again, what is silence?
