Silence

Silence

There is a special communication,
Existing as silence, but taken
As eloquence between friends.


Michael Helvey

Author notes

This one is from one of those life lessons that had escaped me until quietly pointed out...then the truth became so obvious that I didn't know how I had missed it.  Thanks for this contest...it was fun.

    Sincerely Felt Too

    This is so true. I can be wordy and sometimes a moment is more precious and special in the "eloquence of silence" as you say. Being in the moment for the moment's sake.

    It's interesting, actually, that if you don't know a person very well silence between you is akward, but if you're friends, it's completly fine. Nice quote.
