When there is nothing to be said,
there is still silence
When all has been said,
there is still silence
Silence holds great power,

Many of us do not often use her
since she seems like a loser
A word in haste or anger
warrants another in quick retort
It certainly feels good
to be the rival's damper
Venom spewed across
back and forth,
only results in more ire
but it takes a little restraint
and great strength
to douse the raging fire
A silent mind thinks better
like a wound in a cast
healing faster
perhaps it is then true,
Silence is a great healer
wow,,nice flow of words. i agree to your thought too.it takes lot of strenght to be silent..in rage of fire..

thanks a lot, Maliny :-)
DeleteIn silence, we realise so many things about ourselves, about others, and it is so important to use this technique for our own good, and also for understanding the meaning of life. However we forget to be silent, fall into the trap of speaking nonsense all the time.
ReplyDeleteA very good poem.
"In silence, we realise so many things about ourselves, about others, and it is so important to use this technique for our own good, and also for understanding the meaning of life"
