-x- Sounds Of Silence -x-

Maxine Smith

 

When silence becomes loud 

And 

Clarity becomes doubt 

Then

With people, feel alone 

But 

You don’t want them to go

Because 

The silence is too loud

    A true state of loneliness is felt from the read of these poignant words Maxine - - silence though at times golden can be very loud to those feeling lonely. An engaging read.

      Thank you so much Fay, I’m learning how to enjoy the silence and be at peace with it.

      A fine write Maxine. Yet true, as in really silent places it can seem 'loud' and hurt our ears.
      I wrote a silent poem. No words in it, mind you. I wondered why no one read it. Hmm, strange that! heehee.

        Haha that’s brilliant, thank you so much Orchidee, glad you liked.

          Or that bit of 'music' - 4 mins 33 seconds of silence?!

          Deep read or a play with words - whatever it's a darn good read Maxine

          • Maxine Smith

            Aw thank you Michael, appreciate your lovely words.

            Maxine,

            To quote a brilliant poet,
            “I understand the silent moments,
            the inner freedom to roam”

            I’m glad you’re learning to ‘enjoy the silence and be at peace with it’!

            Hugs 🤗
            ~Laura~

              So very true, silence can be so loud but so important to our continued well-being.

                  I favor being alone but at times i do get tired of it, this poem does help describe what happens when people do get more then tired of being alone. Great write keep it up.

                    Very deep and very good. Silence can be deafening at times x
