Be Still

BE STILL My lips pursed, too much to say. Emotions rise to mind like hot molten lava in a sealed volcano. I implode and struggle to keep the walls of a raging inferno from crumbling, from grumbling, from tumbling into the depths of a sea of irrevocable words. The wise man keeps a still tongue?

Oh, how very well you have expressed this. I'm afraid I'm the one who struggles sometimes to keep a still tongue, especially when I know things are wrong. Perhaps it isn't always the wise man who keeps a still tongue because if we all did that then nothing would be changed for the good in the world. Well done. I liked your poem.
