Silence is golden. I value it extremely, but as this post shows, I find it hard to keep.
So saying, I have only one alternative – to extol the value of it. Inspiration is one.
Silence is respect, gives one clarity, and ironically, actually enhances communication because one actually thinks through what one has to say.
Silence enhances one’s well-being. Fingers to the lips, all.
Fingers touch soft to the lips
Arched and reverent, now
Stopping words from falling, tactless slip
Seals them with a bow
Nimble fingers kind
Their touch so tender
Pressed yet mild
That we remember
What words to say
To touch new souls
The lines to pray
Not be too bold
Nimble fingers, ever kind
Their touch gentle, ever mild.
