Alone In My Silent Corner

Silence is such an attractive voice
listening to nothing but silence speak
there in that space all alone
your hearing revs up not all weak

I love to go on a walk alone
especially among nature, hear the sounds
God sometimes uses His created birds
twirping and humming all around

Sometimes I listen to just silence
keeping my ears open and in tune
it's amazing the sounds silence speaks
more clearer even than full moon

I love silence more than voices
having my stammer hard to talk
silence brings release from all stress
in my moment there I can unblock

(This is written on what silence is to me.  How silence show me what words can't say.)

"Silence brings release from all stress" You are absolutely right. It is good to get away from the noise that surrounds us, even if for a little while. Just absorb the beautiful sounds of nature. Silence is golden, at times. :) Brandy

Hello Gordon McConnell, yes silence is great. in silence you can hear your own thoughts. This is the best time for me to create poetry. Silence is also calming for the soul. Enjoy your day my friend.
