Quoth Theraven Poet Prose Poetry

Silence In You

Is there a way you can show me your silence?
This world is deafening to me 
Can I find the words that I'm seeking..

Dream of a quiet place with only you speaking
Teach me to hear with my other senses
draw down all these distorted fences    

Want to listen through the day with you
the whole day in a quiet song of you
just of you
learn from your solitude

I want to., now and forever
know what it is to feel through only those few
the touch of your hand
replace the fragments of a symphonic band

Invite me to your silent world
show me the other side of sound
a place where tranquil peace is found.

      ~~ Dedicated to a great world poet and friend Demetrios Trifiatis ~~

Michelle Smith January 16, 2025 at 8:00 AM Mother Teresa invited us to show it this way: “The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of service is peace.” :)

Indiana Shaw August 3, 2021 at 6:27 PM "Elo Quothy, this very fine poem reminds me of the picture "The Creation of Adam" were their fingers reach out to touch, once touched the connection is there with no words spoken, but, then all at once understood, a lovely tribute to Demetrios who I am sure will be more than honoured by your poem, and a well deserved POTD . . . : )

Jennifer Proxenos August 2, 2021 at 6:25 AM A place and person that is seldom found in todays selfish, crazy state of survival of the fittest. However, I do agree with what you so aptly and creatively are putting across to us - pure bliss to discover persons who can invite you into their serene world a place where tranquility reigns. Superb write my friend. A greatly deserved POTD, a real gem Richard. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Paula Goldsmith August 1, 2021 at 8:06 AM Congratulations on your POTD win. A creative story/write. In this busy world we all need silence from time to time. I love your line, "Invite me to your silent world." Have a blessed day..................

Gershon Wolf August 1, 2021 at 7:41 AM 'The world is deafening to me' -- wonderful line, Richard. With each passing year, I am aware of more and more noise that I successfully, so far, have been able to shut out. Silence is golden. Some say that it is a fence to (surrounding) wisdom. Congrats on POTD. Peace be with you, Gershon
