I fell in love with the silence of her eyes- those unspoken pleasures no one else has ever seen, like the intoxicating placidity of fine red wine or the noiseless footsteps of lingering thoughts that can't be stilled. Words could make no sense of it.. the silence explained everything. POTD 07/05/2017

The poetic beauty of your words speak to an open, loving heart that views silence as our sixth sense, as vital as the others, where one's essence truly lives when quiet is respected. The title is amazing, your words I adore Charlie. a fave
