In that sense, it can be considered as a complement to what has started in the authors previously published poetry book, Gemstone. The author uses his skills in poetry to depict a rich spiritual life where despite the tests and trials of life, one can keep his composure, tame his spirit and maintain an inner peace. Ones life always speaks louder than just his words. A silent preacher living a righteous and holy life can say more by his actions than an eloquent one that relies mainly on his words to influence people around him.

The princess of the school, Alice, is keeping a secret that could strip her of her high school fame. She is obsessed with the school's outcast, Keith, but not just him - his music. Since the inspiration for the song hit, Keith can't get it out of his mind. The song must be played; it demands to be played. He knows the music is changing him, but he is unable to stop it.

As Keith and Alice learn of one another to the notes of that one perfect tune, they can overlook their roles and discover who they could be together. But they also discover someone else is listening and intends on keeping Keith to herself, possibly for an eternity.

With Lawayne's introverted but confident ways, he unearthed his most prominent source of communication and expression, which is best released through writing and music. "Silent Song" is a collected reflection of the Southern gentlemen's instinct, intuition, sentiment, and wisdom he kept bottled and derived into poetic pieces. Having the urge to release the ambush of thoughts and emotions, Catrell Lawayne appended his childhood passion in poetry with his ability to compose and construct a lyrically poetic book of art that freed his soul. A caged bird with clipped wings and a song to sing is a cage of power awaiting to be free, he sings in a tone that only he can hear until his confidence is rebuilt. Intact with confidence, Lawayne finally flies as his soul align with readers and listeners of the world. "He's the soul speaker and the subtle singer. All he does is high frequency. Gravity is not his teacher. He said to step wide so your dreams can meet you. Live before you die, be more than just a dreamer."
