Silence Poem by Valerie Dohren

Silence

Rating: 5.0


O listen to the silence
So gentle everywhere
Hear it, quiet, whispering
Yet softly through the air

Silence bathes the soul in peace
As calm serenity
Speaking to the heart through love
To soothe and comfort thee

None shall e`er be set alone
Who yet shall heed its call
For, deep within, its murmurs
Enrapture and enthral

It speaks to all so sweetly
Its secrets to disclose
It speaks in verses rhyming
It speaks in simple prose

Silence reigns in solitude
And though not ever heard
Within the mind it lingers -
You`ll know each fleeting word

Silence usually terrifies me, I have to have some sound all the time, unless I'm sleeping but when you put it like this it does make me feel quite peaceful.......

Wow! Again...this has such a wonderful, almost antiqated feel to it. The phrasing and flow are simply beautiful! Each line pulls the reader deeper into the next. This is just so gentle and peaceful. Really beautiful!
