Silence - A wonder


 
Courtesy


Truth betrays trust
Yes, it sometimes does
Let your lips not move in grumbling
Let your mind not lose its cool
Let there be a guide

The empty chambers of Darkness
will give you warmth of wisdom
The stillness of your solitary conscience
Will help you break the prison
Let it help you look at peace

Shake hands with your self
Lose yourself, seek yourself
Silence soothes
Embrace it
Let it heal you with your own voice



– Vaishali

    I need my time for silence to keep myself sane, this explores that need so well, wonderfully worded.

    Beginning lines of the second stanza are so true. Loved the ending. We can create and destroy our own destiny.

    Hi Vaishali,

    Seeing your post after a long time. :)
    Lovely poem. Indeed, only you can be your best friend, that's the best way to tackle most of life's problems. And to know yourself better, silence is the medium where you connect with that inner self. Profound post Vaishali :)

    Regards

      Long time, yes! Had been away from writing but I've promised myself to not shun it anymore.

      And thanks for putting the poem in such apt words. The truth, precisely. :)

    Look deep into your soul
    Savor the spectacle of life
    Unspoken though it may be.
    A solitary dance towards inner peace.
    Silent, yet all too consuming.
    Overpowering the shadows
    That hides the wonder and color of your beautiful soul......

    I super love this Vaishali :) you have a gift.

      Wow Sheila, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts here. A beautiful, meaningful poem, yours is.

      And thanks again for appreciating... Coming from such a talented writer, it does mean a lot. :)

      @vaishali: There are only a handful of people and writers I admire. You are one of them. and Kriti too... You write beautifully. Your articles and posts are cohesive, concise, straight to the point and no-nonsense. You do not write to impress people with your words. I abhor those so called ones who try to use super *wow* and recently acquired vocabulary just to impress... To be an effective writer, one only needs to be true and sensitive and empathetic to the various emotions and situations of different people. Keep writing Vaishali. I am one of your fans.... Pyar, shanti, khushi mera dost :)

      OMG!! I'm so glad you think so, Sheila. I like to keep things simple. Never thought someone would actually notice it.

      But there is this thing I wanted to tell you - You are no less. I am in awe after reading your blog posts. Any compliment from such a brilliant writer is always, always welcomed. :P

      Thank you so much. :)

      AND your Hindi is good. :D Indian friends? ;)
