The silence lay heavily between them as they looked into one another's eyes.

Silence lay for a moment, like the eye of a storm.

They walked together after the others, and silence lay gently upon them.

Silence lay on the room for a moment, and I blinked.

The silence lay in thick folds against my face and hands.

The silence lay heavily on them, it was so unusual.

There was no breeze and a wonderful silence lay upon the land.

Silence lay frozen for a moment, wondering what to do.

That silence lay heavy for long moments, until he straightened and spoke.

The night passed, and the breeding silence lay again upon the empty lands.
