Silence Speaks A Thousand Words Poem by Janice M Pickett

Say Nothing
For in your silence
I hear a thousand words
You stand tall amongst men
wiser than generations
Swept by many winds
ripped of foliage
by many a fire
with so much to tell
you still
Say Nothing

I cry to you
as I clutch this empty heart
you have the answers I need
Tell me I beg you speak to me
How do I move on up
out of this valley of death
tell me please
I cry to you

Let me touch you
for in that touch is a comfort
I have never known
Let me lay with you
Let your garden of wild flowers
be my shelter from all harm
Let me touch you

Silence has spoken
it has not condemned me
it has not rejected me
my heart and soul remain intact
the answer I feel is all around me
you have spoken volumes to my spirit
clearer than I could ever imagined
Silence has spoken
