The Power of Silence is a "live", one-take performance of an original piano piece composed to accompany the poem by D.K. Mckenzie.
This piece appears on episode 12 of The Poe Underground Podcast.
Lyrics:
With poetry as in life
you can say a lot using silence
The spaces that fill in time
the words that aren't spoken
say much
truly speaking volumes
Silence can be a loud crack of thunder in reverse
a sucking, reversing, volume
that shifts the air
that is felt in the soul and in the heart
Silence can be a killer in fact
Sometimes when we are silent
we are the ones doing the killing
