Silent Poetry

words can so powerfully express our feelings.. 
yet some of the most profound expressions are made by whats left unsaid 

great is he who posesses the ability to say anything.... 
the sensitivity not to 

tears too often drizzle over words that should have been said but never were... 
a storm of tears floods after words that were said, and though regretted, could never be unspoken



commit to listen to each word expecting value, 
resolve to ignore those that inevitably will have none,


....what remains is silent poetry
