Silence

Silence
                           Sound of dismay
                  A dark self in fright leashed
             Mighty hearts meet its perfection
         Weary souls seek to leak imperfection
                  Illusive shield of protection
                   Danger zone when coded
                            A dire warning
                                  Silence
                                    *****
                                  Silence
                            Lovers retreat
                    Music for thirsty souls
             The realm of every poet's muse
     A wondrous tune, heart of Nature echoed
       The womb where wisdom is conceived
                    Beauty never perceived
                          Sweet harmony
                                   Silence

Silence is the coin, and you get us to view both sides of it, Besma. Some say silence is golden; others see it as a sign of discontent. Silence is what I look for when I need to concentrate and curl up comfortably in my own little world! Warm regards // paul

I do love this line, "Music for thirsty souls The realm of every poet's muse"; You sum up silence quite well; this is all very true. Keep shining.

Thank you for your beautiful sentiments, my dearest friend, Besma. I completely understand about your responsibilities taking you away from your passion, for the same does happen to me as well.. just know that your lovely and inspiring presence has been missed and your return is always eagerly hoped for, my wonderful friend. Warmest wishes, love and hugs..

Teaching has taken me time away from my passion and from giving due respect to you my dearest friend Susan and deepest gratitude for your golden and sweet words.. I am so obliged to you dear Susan for your encouragement and appreciation which I highly value and cherish.. without an avid reader of your calibre no word can attain an aspiring beauty.. my warmest wishes, my love and hugs.
