SILENCE-MY TEACHER

Silence, the strength to know there is nothing to control,

Nor were there any control to start with,

Silence is the strength to know that there is more to know,

Silence opens my comprehend what I already understood.

Silence teaches me to listen to nature,

To hear what she wanted to say and where she wanted be,

Silence says I don’t need to do more,

She says that enough is more than enough.

Silence with spouse teaches me agape love,

Silence with my children reveals my treasures on earth,

Silence with friends is my joy beyond words,

Silence with God is peace in the midst of treacherous storm.

Silence in day reveals the worthless work,

Silence in night illuminates the works that’s to be,

Silence in suffering is a needless toil,

For there are ears waiting in silence to hear and share your toils.

Silence in sleep is peace,

Dreams in silence is sacred,

Silence in action is precious,

Silence my silence my living teacher.

Silence of the aged is brushed aside,

Silence of the weak is trampled upon,

Silence of the strong is frowned upon,

Silence oh Silence will not be ignored for long

Silence in death is deafening,

Silence in mourning is heart rendering,

Tearing in silence is heart wrenching,

Silence oh silence is where it will all end.

Silence is not forever,

For triumphal rejoicing is just a promised away,

The creator and creation reunion awaits,

Till then my silence my teacher, till then.
