The One Who Remains Silent

"THE ONE WHO REMAINS SILENT"
visions of happy encouragement and loving growth I had been seeking- I'll never know his name, but it's just the same he was the first who welcomed me... for he was writing...and- I was writing… and we were both writing for the exact same purpose, intentions to enhance our passion for writing; he has inspired that purpose in me with a gentle reminder- “the One who remains Silent speaks volumes in his words” many thanks Sir...

I will add this. It has been said that Shakespeare did not write his works but in fact they were written by another man with the same name. An ironic statement about the man who wrote 'A rose by any other name..'
