Song of Silence

Lying in the lyrics of silence
Are many words left unsaid.
Many truths left hidden.

Yet the strongest words
The loudest answers;
Lie here in simple silence.

The deepest yearnings,
The heaviest hopes,
This fortress of broken hearts
Hides many emotions.

If only you would listen
To the whispers that no one heard,
Where so many stories lie buried.

Yearning to be sung aloud.

I write poetry, rants and share other multimedia I may randomly find interesting. I believe life’s a slow and epic story. Told in the many emotions we feel on any given day. The climaxes in this story don’t always come within the 150 pages we’d like to see them in. Years and decades create the changes that unfold so many unwritten stories. Every story, every life is a master piece. Often tragic, and often beautiful even in its very simplicity. Intuitive connections with our emotional selves is an awareness that helps us listen, listen to these stories. Where there is laughter, anger, frustration and joy.

Hello Khushbo,

I love this poem. Silence is a powerful statement. God speaks in that soft almost unheard voice. Lots of moments are missed, right when we don’t stop and listen. Beautifully crafted.

Thank you,

Gary

  Thanks Gary. Yes true…so much is said that is left unsaid in words. And God speaks to us everyday from the song of the birds in the morning to the roaring thunder…we need to listen.
