A silence so pure,it beckons to me It promises endings and finally free It brings with it comfort Never questioning me Would it truly bring peace, To bring silence to me? [This message has been edited by Jason Lyle (02-20-2003 08:52 PM).] |

(sigh) Some silence truly does mutter, sweet friend, it is serenity, and through serenity you will find peace and tranquility! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jason, thank you for sharing! Mayn love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Silence can bring peace much closer---and the greatest silence is the stillness within each and every one of us. Warm hugs, Earth Angel |

silence can be so soothing and sweet... golden! but then sometimes it can be bitter and awkward too. I like this kind of silence, and this poem, good write. Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

You are one to certainly fill the mind with your very profound questions and this one is also a good one to ponder. For me, silence and peace seem very much the same, but I do understand to others silence can be quite tormenting. Again, enjoyed reading. -Bob |

A master muse-- silence has been on my mind lately as well-- nice read J There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

That piece just made me want to hold someone in my arms and never let them go. It made me want to cuddle next to someone just to let them know that they are not alone. Thank you for the thoughtful piece. Love, Ladycat Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most |

Jason, I thought for sure that I had already replied to this, but apparently I haven't. This is beautiful. A lot said in just a few words... "Love makes the world go around" |

One of my favourite quotes is from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Poetry teaches the enormous force of a few words, and, in proportion to the inspiration, checks loquacity." -preface to *Parnassus* (1875) This poem is a good example of the truth of such an observation. "Silence is golden" and so is this exquisite piece of wisdom. Patrick Talty |
