Cacophony

Everyday, as I write from my apartment here in Hong Kong, I live in the noise within my mind. No disturbances from others, no colleagues nearby, just the voices, words and sounds within my own head...my own personal cacophony.

Cacophony

I love that word...

It's the most sound

Deafening

Overwhelming

Threatening?

Too much noise?

No

I love it

What's the opposite?

Silence?

Absolute stillness?

But in the absence of sound

I can still hear

My beautiful cacophony

A symphony of white noise

My lovely white noise

She calms me

She cajoles me

She surrounds me

She embraces me

I think in the white noise

I feel in the white noise

I want the white noise

I need the white noise

Cacophony

I love that sound...
