Silence is Golden
Witness the folly of the yammering crowd
Those that speak smugly and those that speak loud
Spitting out syllables the live long day
With nothing to show and nothing to say
A chorus line of mechanical mouths
A bevy of bores from the north to the south
Wherever you go they're standing beside us
Let's pray that they all catch laryngitis

Silence Is Golden
A lady who lived in Korea
Had terrible verbal diarrhea
Her hubby called Bill
Said, “Keep your tongue still,
Quit carping and bending my ear”
Bill’s desperate for a lil’ peace
But her acid tongue will not cease
From morning to night
He gets no respite
From nagging needs some release
Bill seeks advice from friend Odette
She says, “Buy a gag as a threat”
His

Silence Is Golden
It is not your conversation
That keeps me entertained
But rather the way you look at me
That makes me feel sustained
It's the curve of your lips
And the curl of your hair
T'is all of the little things
That make me stop and stare
It is not your intelligence
That drew me close to you
It is not your sense of

Solitude - Silence Is Golden
Susannah sits savoring the silence
snuggled sleepily on the settee
enjoying espresso and eating éclairs -
she needed some space and solitude,
twins, the ‘terrible twos’ are so taxing!
Her husband’s taken Hannah and Holly
to a party at Pirate Pete’s play park.

Some willingly parse words and minutia look past,
the smaller details just never appear to matter.
While stepping on others feelings each time they lambaste,
they constantly fill a room with unwanted chatter.
“silences make the real conversation between friends.
Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts”

The time I find most prized
is the uninterrupted hours I spend each morning,
when silence is mellifluous.
I find it a quiet, peaceful but sometimes lonely time.
A time of communication with God,
attentive to the thoughts He is giving me.
But to soon the world outside awakes,
and the silence that was sweet and plethoric,
is

Silence is golden is a phrase from the past
Things have changed, need to rant, rave and blast
To be heard above the din
Much to our chagrin
Civility in the world has gone to the dogs fast

I love mornings when silence is sweet and abundant,
Without the phone’s ring or any door emitting sound.
When thoughts on paper don’t appear too redundant,
And silence wouldn’t require a shelter underground.

Silence Is Golden
Some of our best conversations
Were when no words were needed
And afterwards feeling a lot was completed
It’s kinda surreal, the feelings we’ve shared
There was no doubt about how much we cared
It’s not always

They're blasting, and looking for gold
Yeah, some riches that they could hold
No feeling for
Quiet no more
Don’t believe silence is their mold

Silence is Golden
In a laboratory in a far away place called
Lahore
Was a mad scientist, who experimented
Offshore
He fiddled and fuddles deep inside his lab
Making clones of his glorious self
Thinking they mighty fine lads
He cloned twenty or thirty or a hundred and more
All chattering and gabbing, their master they adore
Oh yes, he’s the mad scientist from Lahore
He

Silence Is Golden
Bright Marguerites,open and ablaze,
Reflected in a sunny haze.
Lilies waxed in a summer light,
A Jasmined fragrance to fill the night.
Perfumed petals,paper-white
Intoxicate,then delight;
Speaking volumes with words un-heard
Silent,flowers upon which all senses merge.

Silence is better for ignorant,
Anytime he or she can be arrogant.
If we are not possessed of perfection or excellence,
It's better we keep our tongue shut and silence.
The tongue can bring miseries upon men and women,
We should learn how to stay calm and quiet and be awaken.
The coconut without a shell is light in weight,
