I want to hear Silence
winding its way in the crowd
picking up the noise
and zipping them in his bag.
I would like to hear him sing
in the treetops and on the ground
accompanied only by birds
carrying their rhythm
to the clouds.
I would love Silence
to sit with me on the bench
tell me stories I'll never hear
while the children screamed
and the world bickered.
It's a lovely day when Silence visits
and wraps me in his embrace
that bathes me in tranquil currents
quickening my heartbeat
to the softness of a flower's breath
or the glorious voice of God
indwelling in my soul.

I would welcome Silence too Imelda ~ A timely piece in these difficult times ~
Lovely poem about silence and the welcoming of it.
Silence is a wonderful thing… in the right doses… then I long for noise again…
Silence is my favorite song.
I love silence, it is my friend.
Those , like me. who are introverted – not a psychiatric condition – love the peace of solitude.
Nevertheless, to exist in this world of ours, I have developed the charade of an extrovert me. And in this world I like to be liked and I am comfortable with this.
Once home, I need no other.
Kind regards

Love this poem, Imelda. Silence singing with birds and with you. It brings piece. A time to sit down and be slow…but as you said, it van quicken our heartbeat too as something lovely comes our way. In a good way ❤
I think I love silence too much, but I’m not willing to repent
Silence is one of my most wanted friends. Lovely lines from you, and lovely picture. Every now and then I do love the sound of water in the brook and the joyful birds in the canopy. but silence – Silence is golden.
Chosen silence can be a wonderful thing…
so soothing. so calming. so good. ❤
