Silence

When the words were intense and the soul no longer conceded to comfort Thoughts got blind and the heart beats in tension Silence ***** Absent are ardent words an inability to fill gaps meanings suspended seasons slowly stretching Silence ***** A thin veil hiding behind a thick weight suppressing many a sound Silence ***** Deeply delving into a void seeking the significance of a still word trying to explain an unexplained world Silence ***** Observing, absorbing the aura of silence touching its vibrant presence perceivable, palpable Silence ***** Pausing in peace treasuring tranquillity allowing the soul to such a state admire sinking in a serene space Silence

What a wonderful write my dearest friend. There is a song , I'm sure you'd know it ,The Sound of Silence. Simon and Garfunkel. Love the opening line...'Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again. ' Signifies that Silence is a space that the writers are comfortable with. Observing and absorbing all in the silence of true awareness. Outstanding write , and a fave for me. Love and hugs xxx

Such a beautiful poem Besma. So well written and filled with delightful, tranquil thoughts. As they say, ‘silence is golden’ and so is your poem. I particularly love the last two stanzas,’ sinking in a serene space’. Loved it! Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you.

Silence is something that brings forth a myriad spectrum of emotions.. Sometimes it's forced by the circumstances of life which ultimately leads to a turbulent situation when we oscillate in its ache.. But when we come to the terms of acceptance, it can give us the tranquil peace that we soulfully desire.Dear beautiful poetess, your words are full of so much depth and I can't help but admire the way in which you've deciphered such heartfelt feelings.You're a stunning poetess and I love this poem

Dear Besma, your poem is truly captivating and exquisitely crafted. The theme of silence is explored in a profound manner, making it a true gem. As I grow older, I find myself drawn to quieter moments, and in this poem, I can feel a sense of wisdom emanating from the stillness. The imagery used is striking and the metaphors are skillfully woven, adding an extra layer of beauty to an already awe-inspiring piece. Your deep acumen of diction and impeccable word choices enhance the poem's quality.

The repeating sound of silence conveys your theme brilliantly, my friend. meanings suspended-- seasons slowly stretching --Silence Deeply delving into a void--seeking the significance--- A thin veil hiding behind a thick weight suppressing many a sound--Silence.

The sound of silence, a famous song and of great beauty like your poem. You capture the emotion of silence, as memories race in one's mind, and find a modicum of peace in the silence around. Noise tends to distract us. In silence, we capture tranquillity and serenity. Wonderful sentiments and emotions my friend. Many blessings.
