Power of Silence

The Power of Silence

Silence is a celestial message
Silence is a capsule form
Of feelings and emotions;

Words are not powerful expression.
Words could not perform emotions -But
Silence is a powerful weapon;
It does the job in the way of meaning.

Thee connectivity
Through words is precarious.
Words reach others-But
Message stay with you;
Others paint your words
They render other than what you mean.

The impacts modify your words
But the impact is not your intention,
Silences build your confidence
Words build choices for others
Hence
‘ Words can be destroyed-but
Silence cannot be defeated.’

A simple truth of life magnificently revealed through this wonderful write! Only when you are silent can you listen. Note how 'silent' and 'listen' are inter-convertible by simply jumbling them up!

Beautiful write! Yes, with respect to words, message conveyed and message received need not be the same always. And, yes, silence can sometimes be more eloquent than words. Wish you a right blend of words and silence.

I enjoyed your poem's theory on the effect of words vs. silence. I too hear the most, learn the most and feel the most in the silence. Sometimes the silence is deafening with all that can come through! ...Nadine

There is truly power in silence. I sit alone in the dark of my family room at night to sit in the Presence of Christ in the silence of the night. God then places into myheart what I wouldn't have maybe heard if I were talking. God bless
