Power of Words and Silence

There is a power in words and there is power in silence Words are loud and let you be heard While silence people are unsure Words vibrate through the air and bounce through the walls Silence has no sound just muted calls People turn when they hear a word not knowing what will be learned But for silence people ignore for nothing cannot and will not be heard Both words and silence can save a life or end one They can keep you out of trouble when it comes knocking at your door There is a power in words and a power in silence But which one is stronger and in what situation?

Jessica, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
