In life I have so many loves,
And of those loves there are four,
Four that bring joy to me,
Painting, poetry, music, silence.
Seeing a painting brings me joy
Where if I look at it
I see more than is there.
Painting is poetry that is seen,
Seen rather than felt.
Poetry brings words to me
That can bring ideas and wonder
Into my wonderful life.
Poetry is painting that is felt,
Felt rather than seen.
Hearing music is my absolute joy
It takes me to so many places
Where joy and love abound.
Music is silence interrupted,
Interrupted by love.
Listening to silence makes me think
And puts my mind at rest
And prepares me for the future.
Silence is music that is heard,
Heard in my mind.

Beautifully put. I always think that poetry is trying to paint with words. And never thought about silence being a thing. In this day and age, we don't get enough silence. Will have to see what I can do about that. Your poem has really made me think. Cheers, Tom.
Thank you Tom for your kind comments, much appreciated.

A fine write Gold.
And silence is golden - the silence of not hearing Orchi sing/screech! lol.
Thank you Orchi.
Wow! This one is philosophy at its peak with such well thought out organization. Logical, to the point of bringing on emotion. You have united them all in a few words what otherwise would have been a treatise.
Most kind soren, thank you for your wonderful comments.
