Rhythm, Harmony, Silence

Defiance of the stars only results in divine order.
Defiance of the silence only results in music.
Mock the same silence that stands between us all,
and you have discovered rhythm.

The rhythm is only perpetual and repertory.
It's only enemy is the silence,
which has a rhythm of its own.
You could say that silence is the rhythm
of all the unspoken hearts of the world,
beating in harmony.

Harmony is the only acme of the rhythm and silence.
Defiance only results in harmony.
The denial of harmony only proves the same denial
of rhythm that is the question itself.
the question lacking is silence.

The bullshit I just wrote is most likely responded with silence
and a general sense of confusion.
Or, you saw the rhythm that was talking of the harmony,
only split by the silence.

If you're a religious person,
you could say that the divine spirit
is rhythm, harmony, and absolutely silence.
If you think about it,
life is simply rhythm, harmony,
and occasionally silence.
If I think I know what I'm trying to say,
then I am silent, but I know that the best things in life
are rhythm and harmony, all mixed up in a funky jazz.
Or silence.
