Silence Is Golden Poem by Chris Embrick

Silence is golden
only when your thoughts
come from the treasure chest of love
Silence is pleasing
only in the eye of the storm
when all tension is gone
between the soul and the body
Silence is peaceful
when the your heart touches
that which is beautiful
and transfers you
to a place
where you are alone
surrounded
only by the trees
and the wind
It's here
you begin to understand
that you were not born
to be isolated from the world.
