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?

I like the begining, 'Say not a word, For silence is golden, ' fortunately for me though, I seem to have decided on the answer to the last line. for that decision you'll have to read my poem, 'Buddy' which hopefully will reveal some needed truth on the matter. -nkuli

What a good write. Yes it can be a curse to speak out - but to keep it all in is a curse too... so long as it does not do harm - especially to oneself, I think get as much out as possible. The miracle may be found in all those songs & poems out there :)

Silence some times can say far more than words. Very well put, and an excellent theme. Tango.

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.
