Silence

SILENCE!

Silence is a wonderful virtue!

Upon which are built the towers of fortune.

Silence is a priceless gift

Which in history, has solved, many a rift.

Silence stands for freedom

Lost in the world, devoid of boredom.

Silence comes, from deep within a soul

In the pitch darkness, as black as coal.

Silence, is that soothing voice

Which humans hear, with or without a choice.

In silence, lies a sweet melody

Ironically, it lingers, after a tragedy.

Silence always speaks multitudes

It rests in the clam of very high altitudes.

In all cold,isolated places, frozen

Silence lies, pure and golden.

Silent, today, I am, filled with unexpressed emotions

A chemist, completely lost in his decoctions

Like the silent bird, fluttering above a banyan

Silence, silence, silence, all through the canyon.
