Miracle Of Silence Poem by Kim Schilling

Miracle Of Silence

Rating: 5.0


Say not a word,
For silence is golden;
Heeding the warnings,
Of abusers from past,
And abusers of present.

The miracle of silence;
Hiding your secrets,
Cloaking your shame,
From all who would see,
Imperfections and impurity.

Life-breathing stillness;
A guarantee of existence,
Cold and absent of trueness;
A self devoid of wholeness,
And decaying pain within.

Silence - miracle or curse?

Silence is action in inaction. One cannot remain silent, as his or her mental stream always runs in thoughts, good or bad. Sometime silence means acceptance. A wonderful theme you have taken for this poem.

Agree with Christopher Savin, silence can be either good or bad. It can be a show of strength or weakness. Hidden secrets or nothing to declare. Typically good poem from you.
