Silence Is My Thing of Real Beauty

To many people, silence is a bore
thinking it to be a real chore
wishing always to be in company
looking for another open door

Being quiet and alone is so hard
always needing company of lots of folks
such people like talking so often
maybe shows inferiority that's so broke

I must confess I love silence
it's such a peaceful feeling
there's a sense of stillness abounds
such abounded peace so appealing

There's something soothing deep inside
listening silently to an absent sound
full of expectation of what's coming next
it's like a special jewel you've found

Silence is my thing of real beauty
so beautiful words cannot explain
what others think ugly I simply love
a silent moment fully satisfies my brain

(This is written about something that most people find ugly but I see it as beautiful and that's silence.)

Occasionally we need our private moments and a time for quiet reflection! In silence we can look into ourselves. .... also into nature, listen to the whispers of our our own soul and of God ! Always silence is preferred to cacophony ! Agree with you Gordon .

You are right we all need this but with our business and my beloved poetry, every single minute of every single day is taken up. I also do yoga and have physiotherapy for my hand as we bought a king size bed, and you almost need a step ladder to get up, well i fell out of bed one night and damaged the nerves in two fingers, so go for therapy twice a week. A quiet moment would be good, but my mind is so hectic when i go to bed that I dream either Poetry or Proto Personnel. Great write Hugs Jenn
