Stillness Speaks: A Haiku Quartet
Talking is Less Than We Might Think
The smile of a friend
Can be a deep silent hug,
Uncluttered and true.
Words oft' create sounds
That obfuscate what is real;
We know, but we speak.
Talking a bit less
Allowing for hearts to touch.
Stillness speaks volumes.
Silence can be love
And the caring acceptance
Humanity craves.
Can be a deep silent hug,
Uncluttered and true.
Words oft' create sounds
That obfuscate what is real;
We know, but we speak.
Talking a bit less
Allowing for hearts to touch.
Stillness speaks volumes.
Silence can be love
And the caring acceptance
Humanity craves.

Post a CommentBeautifully true....
Wonderful work, my friend! Thanks!
Beautiful sentiments in this poem!
nice job on this I also liked the phrase "deep silent hug" Laura Everly
Reminds of when I was feeling really down and someone gave me a much needed hug.
How true that is.
Each Haiku verse, on it's own, is quite a nice sentiment. The verses together, even moreso.
Beautiful thought and words.
Very nice.
You speak well in your silence!
