A gateway through which so very few pass,
Silence first stills, then opens new vistas.
Busy minds tire but quiet revives, alas
Calm cannot speak if it feels resistance.
Noiseless voices croon repose to still minds.
So fall dumb, allow for hushed times, refine
The peace silence sings which heals and rightly
We need soundless places quiet heightens.
Bliss of tranquillity waits, so give place
To its resounding. True gold of silence
Once accepted will transform worry's waste
And show this way to live as being wise.
Fay, what a lovely way to explain the benefits of silence. I loved it and it is going into my favourites. 10+++ Love Bob

Complete silence can be deafening, for ears strain for sound the mind ignores the ticking clock.or lapping waves I've found background voices are filtered out, when in a crowded room but your right, the mind gets tired, of the constant sonic boom
yup. she never should have told me she loved another. she should have kept that silent.. hehe. Thanks fay
Beautiful poem and very true, Fay. Silence speaks itself. It's a great source of wisdom. It opens new vistas to those who can listen it. Mother Teresa said; “God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...' Regards Naseer
This is a beautifully written expression of 'that place' that sits inside us all and is only revealed when we take time to stop and smell the flowers. I like the way you use enjambment in the piece. It adds a note of surprise that works really well. Your Gateway of Silence utters its truth imaginatively and evocatively. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
