Silence

I define it as a wordless struggle,
Which helps avoid worthless trouble.
A moment of silence is all we need
To assess what to pay heed.

In silence, you’ll meet the one,
Who knows you better than anyone.
The one who looks in the mirror like you,
It is in silence you’ll find the true you.

Silence speaks when words fail,
Silence lives when you lay pale,
Silence listens when ears get too old,
Silence judges how your ideals hold.

Silence, an essence of life,
Broken with the first words of strife;
And peacefully when we shall lay,
Only silence shall surround us that day!
