Paula Wilson Poet Free verse

A Whisper

The Quiet ones Listen the Longest and try not to Disturb
The Whispering Winds.
The words of our Ancestors soar on a Breeze and we can't 
Hear because of the Shuffling of Leaves.
Sometimes the Silent ones Speak the Loudest Words
and Sometimes the Loudest ones can put Someone 
in a Tomb.
Words can Destroy a Nation or Heal a Wound.
Just Because I'm Quiet doesn't mean I have 
Nothing to Say.
Whisper Kindly and Talk Softly.
OK

Marikate Kingston September 12, 2021 at 7:41 PM Your lines " Words can destroy a nation or heal a wound" are very profound. They can apply to a child, an adult, a teacher, a parent, or now especially, to a people, a race, or nation! Your poem was moving to me. I'm so glad I found it. Paula Wilson September 15, 2021 at 6:40 PM Thank you so much. I've been writing since I was 14. I was a very shy person growing up,but very emphatic towards people that were considered underdogs. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Poetry feeds the soul. Hope you have a wonderful evening.
