Silence Is Necessary For My Health

silence
fruitfully sought
never disappoints

silence
some cannot abide it
I deplore those people

silence disturbed
by music casually flipped on
by non-thinkers

silence 
never fully understood
by non dendrite-builders

silence
necessary for my health
my go-to place

silence
all I ask 
is more….

Great write Caren and like you I need a daily dose of silence or I cannot function. Today I have enjoyed a great deal of silence so I am now calm and refreshed ready to write more poems - lovely! With kindest thoughts Ann xx

It is like breathing for me, NECESSARY. The more I get, the more I crave actually.

Silence should be law. I love it, the total peace. Tom

I am so irritated when I am in a class, having them think and the TEACHER starts playing LOUD music. I do not hesitate to whisper in their ear. Some argue, but not many.

Silent One, I thrive on it, I revel in it. It is my Go-To-Place.
