Inner Silence Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Underestimated
Silence stays hidden
In broad day light
Silence is enveloped
By a dark cloud of boredom
Silence is pushed to the corner
Hidden under the ocean
Silence is stashed away
In exotic islands

Underrated
Silence is sold in pennies
Given to the lowest bidders
Silence is overlooked
In the market place
Silence is unpacked
Left in heavy sacks
Unable to breath
Silence is suffocated

Misunderstood
Silence is a left over
After a heavy meal of music
Silence is not found on the DJ's list
Silence is wrapped in heavy blankets
Inside the closet of the heart
Silence is muffled
Silenced

Silence is not silent
Silence is not of words
Silence is of thoughts and emotion
Silence is a beautiful place
Silence is the sacred dream
Silence is the inside of imagination
Silence is the garden of Eden
Silence bears too many fruits
Silence is the hospital
Silence carries the burden of the world
Silence is not death
Silence is very much alive
Silence is the refuge
Silence is the orphanage
Silence is the rehabilitation center
Silence is medicine
Silence is Love displayed
