55 – Accidental Silence

I like
the flat intricacies and estuaries of
the accidental silence
when we lapse
because we are thinking too much
and have been drawn deep into our interiors;
not because we are then so separate,
but because then we can
come together like
the tide creeping in
to form new patterns of
harmony/ thought/ friendship

The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. Flash Fiction 55 is hosted by the G-man, a host with the most.
