Notes About The Poem

Silence Sighs

Silence speaks louder than the shouting
That consumes the lives of those
Who are destined to fail
With their hatred
And bitterness
So dark and dreary
Dim even in sunlight
Wishing for the darkness of night
When they might hide
From the beauty
That whispers
Love

Silence colors hearts with shimmering
Shades of solitude, isolation
Fumbling fingers of doubt
Encouraging soundless, 
Discreet melancholy
Hues of secrets
Beckoning through 
Heavens filled with hope
Healing and health
Happiness
That glows crimson
Painting brilliant rays
Of gold 
Across the heart
The soul
Love

Silence echoes in the valleys
Crying across ridges
Of lonely mountains
Fading into the emerald
And sapphire crests
Yearning to fly
On wings of inspiration
Soothing tender aches
With music that destroys
Black and dreary thoughts
Despair that rides on clouds
Of gray, grim anguish
Displayed in rays of sadness
Disrupting the moments
Of clear radiance
Breathed through trees
On wings of ecstasy
That soars across
Cloudless skies
In sacrifice
Love

Silence sighs with
Love

There is a saying which resonates deeply with me...'if you don't go within you go without'. In this mad world especially this year, its so important to appreciate the beauty in Silence. You have written this really well Regina, a fave for me....Maria Hugs
