Silence

Have you ever felt the value of silence?

SILENCE!

Silence is a wonderful virtue!

Upon which are built the towers of fortune.

Silence is a priceless gift

Which in history, has solved, many a rift.

Silence stands for freedom

Lost in the world, devoid of boredom.

Silence comes, from deep within a soul

In the pitch darkness, as black as coal.

Silence, is that soothing voice

Which humans hear, with or without a choice.

In silence, lies a sweet melody

Ironically, it lingers, after a tragedy.

Silence always speaks multitudes

It rests in the calm of very high altitudes.

In all cold,isolated places, frozen

Silence lies, pure and golden.

Silent, today, I am, filled with unexpressed emotions

A chemist, completely lost in his decoctions

Like the silent bird, fluttering above a banyan

Silence, silence, silence, all through the canyon.

Silence is indeed a valuable source to treat with delicately. Silence brings me the inner rest required to think clearly on certain matters. However, as our world changes so too do the moments of silence, for I believe that true silence, in which absolutely no sound exists, cannot be 'heard' in our day to day lives. It might be that this is not agreed by, but just try to. Close your eyes and listen to the silence, there will always be a disturbance of any sound. This poem explains the beauty of the soundless sound very well!

Thank you, and I agree that true silence can only be found in outerspace, even there, sound may exist in infinitesimally small quantities. The soundless sound was my aim, and I simply wrote what I felt :)

i think silence speaks louder than words...

actions speak.

in silence there is much to imagine, much more than when things are actually spoken.

like this...one change...you have "clam" and probably meant "calm"

but yes...this poem is about silence, but speaks loud and clear to the reader.
