“You talk
when you cease
to be at peace
with your thoughts.”
.
.
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
.
.
Elfje:
.
silence
eyes closed
thoughts take time
memories and dreams unfold
peace
.
Haiku: (My way … 7-5-7)
.
work the garden in silence
spring thoughts create dreams
flowers and ideas bloom
.
Haiku: (traditional 5-7-5)
.
talk grows out of fear
that someone may read your thoughts
disrupt the silence
.
POEM: No Talking
.
nature does not need to talk
a universal language espoused
nature displays her artists smock
all of the souls senses aroused
love exists in the silence
talking confounds the moment
feelings masked or showing defiance
hiding the intent like a poet
the small mind can not remain quiet
small talk hides the unfounded fears
trying to be as clever as a Broadway hit
always trying to one up on your peers
talking to oneself can be dangerous
noises to disturb ones serenity
peace of mind need not be adventurous
closing ones mouth can be heavenly
reticence keeps the heart from shrinking
try to quiet the noisy mind
be at peace with your thinking
talk only when you want to be kind.
