An Ode to Silence
Don't call it strange because it's not a topic for popular media
Don't believe it's insecure because it prefers inner confidence instead of arrogance
Be cautious in calling it by another name if it chooses to refrain from being apart of the in crowd
Don't try to make it feel ashamed of being different when the status quo refuses to change
Don't challenge its intentions for being comfortable in walking along the lines of the truth
See it as it is instead of through a superficial context it can't relate to
Life can be private and not for public consumption
There is no longer room here for reality TV
It's time to embrace silence and the power of discretion

Post a CommentLovely words you have touched me deeply.
enjoyed and made you a favorite.
Thank-you! I don't know how many times I have tried to explain just this! You did it brilliantly!
Yes!
Great perspective and just came in timely with my recent article. I feel, silence engages us in deep conversation than eloquence.
Great article! Giving you some page love!
I like how your poem summed up the strong points of silence and how, contrary to conventional wisdom, it is a show of virtue.
Wow! I appreciate this poem. A reminder to be quick to listen, and slow to speak.
Thanks,
