In your gentle daintiness is full-blown truth.

G'day Gershon ... silence leads us to our inner thoughts without interference. It's a world of our own - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

No conversation is as intimate as silence, for silence can only be shared by the ones who are fluent in silence where words aren't needed. I love silence for I find peace in silence and having someone whom I can just sit down with and be comfortable with in silence is such a deal breaker. Nice work Gershon!

Yes, I've seen silence in your poems often, Line. John Watt provided a great quote by Debussy for us. (Scroll down)... Thanks, Line! :) gw

I like this, Gershon. Silence is the voice that truth stirs in. Deep and true. Debussy said, "Music is the silence between the notes".

That's a great quote from Debussy, one I had never heard before. Thanks, John! :) gw
