Defeaning Silence [PROMPTS]

OKAY OKAY OKAY: i've had an INSANE itching to have a contest and now that i've gained the points to do so yet again, HERE I AM!

now make this worth it because points are hard to come by, in my case, and i want this to work XDDDD

okay. i've a few prompts for you to go by...
the basic thought of it all is the term :

"Deafening Silence" <------ i'm looking for poems that are both calming but make a strong point in statement.

there is my absolute favorite quote:

"The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity... it's envy. Life is so beautiful that death as fallen in love with it, a jealous, posessive love that grabs at what it can."

---Yann Martell

or you can be inspired by the songs:

"Can't stop thinking about you" {at least... i think that's what it's called?} by Maroon5

"Sailing Day" by Bumb of Chicken

"Almost Easy" by Avenged Sevenfold

"Check yes Juliet" by We The Kings

---like i said:
looking for both calming but strong poetry. My particular faves are the darks, the depressings: the stronger emotions that, let's face it, are easier to write about XDDDD

i don't mind if it ryhms but freewrites are very welcome.

RULES:
>no cursing
>no bashing
>no text talk
>no TyPiNg LiKe ThIs
>use ur common sense
>HAVE FUN

i shall see you soon enough! REMEMBER: you can use any of the song titles, the quote, or the image as ur prompt. use more than one for all i care. i won't make u post it on ur poem, just cuz i hate having to do that myself. XD
