Silent Moods

     

         

         

         

         

“I sense sadness there…”        

“It’s never that far away.”        

         

         

         

         

       
 






 

         

         

         

         

         

         

“Well, life is perfect, isn’t it?”        

“Of course.”        

         

         

         

         

         














         

         

         

         

         

         

“Is my silence speaking?”        

“Sometimes it’s the loudest thing.”        

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         




         

“Wow, what that silence just said…”        

“lol”        

         

         

         

         

         

         

“mm”        

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         


















         

“Silence plays a large part in communicating.        

Some avoid it. Too bad.        

There is a lot there, if only one listens,
and allows the other be silent...”  
      

“Yes, two can pick up a lot,        

if they are comfortable in those situations…” 
       

“mmm...
at least connected…”

“and under the smilies...?
   a silent connection.”        

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

       
 
















 

“lingering in the silence…        

  no words…

  sharing feelings and images…”        

“and not wanting to break what is transpiring…” 

       

"...more important than words at the moment.”        

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

















         

“silence...”        

         

         

         

         






    









     

“reaching a place where most words cannot...”        




“framed by words,       

  conveying much more…       

  A singular silence       

  deep from each other’s thoughts...”        

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         










         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

“unless you’re multitasking!”        

“lol… no, thinking…        

trying to find words,        

as silence by itself is not complete…”        

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

“painful memories here…        

  nice to confront them in supportive silence…”        

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

“glad to have someone wade through the silence with me...”   

  







   

“Well, perhaps it takes us 
  to similar places,        

  flung into life a bit too soon...       

  makes one wonder how we ever managed to survive.”        

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

“mmm surviving is the hardest lesson.”        

“mmm...”        

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         















         

         

“well, I should sign off… need sleep, so hugs        

and thanks for the golden silences together…        

they are prized and priceless.” 
       

“You are more than welcome,        

as it was very needed here,        

as you sense my moods…”        

(((hugss)))       
 


“Sensing moods... 

  
moods in unison...  

      



  silent moods…"       

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

      









   

         

"nite! lol”        

         

         

“sighs        

nighty night        

(hug)"        

         

         

         

"and many more silent moods to come…! "

What? Only silence here!

Note- the space between the 'stanzas' represents 'the silence'...

    celticmoon pointed my in your direction, and this is the first piece of yours i have read. I must say, I am extremely impressed! You have transformed such an overlooked and ill-expressed concept and turned it into a wonderful work of poetry. And i love that you have turned your convo into the piece, its so very effective. I am in awe, and i guess, by rights, i should give a silent comment... but i felt the need for words at this point! I especially liked the reference to surviving being the hardest lesson... so very true.
    Thank you for sharing such an amazing piece

    Ther are times when you pen a piece and I think to myself, you write with such power and intensity and emotion. I could read your works all day long. You are among a select few writer's that I know that puts everything that is within you, into your poems. Not just bits and pieces... EVERYTHING. When you pour out your heart, such as you have done here and in all your other works, I swear even the angels must surely hush their singing so they too can absorb the wonder of you. You have such amazing talent that just shines and spews forth at times. This has touched me deeply son.

    Wow.. that was an excellent write and, I agree with Providence, it is probably one of the best poems I've written about silence. I loved how you added all the spacing to give your write even more of that effect. Excellent job and thanks for sharing.

    I almost felt as if I had meant to write this same piece. Silence means everything at certain times in life, whatever the sitaution maybe, great poem

    Wow. This is one of the most beautiful poems about silence that I have read..."“reaching a place where most words cannot...”

    “framed by words…

    conveying much more…



    a singular silence.

    Deep in each other’s thoughts...”

    Simply breath taking!

    As i scroll down this, I wonder how it would read if it were all together and I did not have to back up to find whe I had just read. Lovely, just so far apart. Nice background too.

    Ah nothing like the sweet silent conversations between two poeple who know each other so well. The conversations silence can have is a remarkable thing if one just gives it a chance. Words are not need just to know what the other is feeling as well as thinking. You need only know the person that well.

    I love this piece it truly shows silence can be golden!


    Blessings

    Sometimes all a person needs is some silence. I know I could use some.
