Silences Silenced

Thinking in the,
Absence of silence.

A droplet of ink, 
Can make millions think
Thinking in the
Absence of this silence.

Silence is being answered, 
From questions that have
Never asked?

It is silence, 
You do get
Pearls of Wisdom
Thickens, be it said. 

Don't plan on being helped,
For help has gone silent
When this book, sitting here
On the shelf, silenced.

Silences, be it that,
Standish one
Instead, be the laid-back one
Make some history.

I am writing his words,
Doing what he does.

Takes one last glance at, 
The silence around the room
Silenced is his, he roosts.

Hello William Darnell Sr. this is a beautiful poem. Silence is golden so they say. Silence is peaceful to listen to the calm. A person can hear their thoughts in silence. Hello William I hope you had a nice day. Enjoy your evening my friend.
