Silence.

 

 

 

Silence.


A little silence mothers clear truth for those
who dare seek and embrace
the great unheard,
and if not smothered, stillness guides minds
to find in quiet
something of beauty waiting behind sound
to become to the listener
more than an antidote.

To those who know unsung whispers bless
can soundless quietude\'s
escape to peace 
compose a useful calmness, lifting moods
with mysterious
halcyon balm which reaches core\'s healing 
for only when still can rest 
stifle noise-stress wholly.
