Silence

Today we had a two minute silence at work for Remembrance Day. It was a really strange experience, how during that two minutes the Shopping Centre, a place that is normally busy and alive from dawn to dusk remained still and silent. It was very eerie, the stillness and silence surrounded me like a shroud; it was a beautiful, fleeting moment in time. 
It was a fitting tribute to all those who have selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice through the years; maybe the stillness and silence is reminiscent of the place the fallen now reside - I hope so.
