Stillness Speaks Poem by Tor Magnor Solvang

Stillness speaks, a gentle hum,
No need for words, for those who come
To listen close, with open mind,
The universe, its truths will find.

The stars, the trees, the quiet night,
They whisper secrets, pure and bright.
If hearts are meant to truly see,
Then silence bridges you and me.

If it is meant, you'll learn to hear,
The whispers banishing all of fear.
A path to peace, a world so wide,
Where hearts can truly, gently ride.

But shadows hide, and rocks lie deep,
Before the perfect secrets sleep.
A misplaced word, a hurried thought,
Can tangle what the silence brought.

Peace unfolds, a calm, sweet grace,
When understanding finds its place.
But paths are rough, and shadows creep,
Misread echoes, secrets deep.

A glance, a pause, a breath held low,
More than spoken words can show.
The silent tongue, the clearest way,
To greet the dawn of every day.
