Silence

Lulled to stillness,
Taciturn…
In silence.
Hushed in quiet meditative peace.
Muted to a wistful world…
Of silence.
Joyful for rare sensory release.

Praise the calm of zephyr winds…
Sweet silence.
Breathe the smooth, serene tranquility
Enclosed inside the soundless
Stealthy grotto of
A mind allowed to wander
Fully free.

Stifling the rumor’s road…
To silence.
Vicious innuendo born in Hell.
Better to stay speechless
And unknowing, and
Let them rest where
Lonely secrets dwell…
In silence.
