What is Silence?

What is Silence?

A Poem by Julia Shaw
"

Discussing silence.

"


Silence is snow falling outside your door

Turning the world into seamless white

Covering up all things ugly and impure

Quietly caressing the earth through the night


Silence is a mime telling stories without words

Using only features on his face recorded

He's understood perfectly though his voice isn't heard

By all that see him he's greatly adored


Silence is a window through which one can look

Seeing wondrous things, but not hearing a sound

Silence is also realized in an interesting book

Where exciting stories can always be found


Silence is sitting and thinking your thoughts

No one can know whether they're evil or good

But thoughts make up what your life has wrought

In your silent thoughts, try to think good
