Quiet Poem by Barry Middleton

Quiet



can wise men teach fools
can fools teach wise men

the silence of the mouse
prepares for hungry winter

wisdom isn't had by chatter
but by the hush of listening

the crane moves in grace
a solemn whisper of peace

so it is that mice and cranes
attend to the quiet spirit

wisdom is lost in clamor
the world is raucous noise
