The Power of Silence

Today I rolled up my tongue And put it away, not caring What my mind had to say My silence was enough To put the stress away! The day was quiet and long But you see life is short Silence even in anger Does not have the will to retort! Facts are things that noise distorts I hear the wind creeping in the air As chirping birds speak In multitudes of tongue As dusk approaches, letting the Insects take on this debate! When the need to fly home Has risin up, all birds partake For to dawn they have sworn, to wake! All these silent moments I cannot, well enough communicate Healing wounds that dissipate Does a bud that blooms today Make a noise in anyway? I open my eyes to ease and gentility Accepting the power of silence In sweet serenity! 18.3.23
