What Silence Says

So fragile that a word can break it,

But  it says what we need to hear

Its so diverse that it compells one to think,

And so soothing that I completely sink,

Silence resides in every heart’s pit,

Even when you try to shout out loud,

I feel it to be my beloved, a single reliance

Such is this vivid, beautiful gift of silence.
