shreya koppaka - Silence.....

The saying is true,
Though old,
That speech is silver,
Silence is gold,

Silently a butterfly watches,
A bud bloom into a flower,
Silently the thirsty earth waits,
For the heavy and delightful shower,

In silence a priest to god offer prayer,
In silence do mourners their sorrow share,

A happy mother looks down in satisfied silence,
At her baby who sleeps with a smile of innocence,

Beautiful is the rain when loud and violent,
But more beautiful is the rainbow that is always silent,

In silence alone divine music one can hear,
But also in silence one faces ones deepest fear,

In silent meditation one gets in touch with ones inner self,
But silence is also scary and lonely with no help,

In silence are carried out world’s best conversations,
Because everything is said without any hesitation,

Lots of joy also silence bring,
When minds are read without saying anything,

Everything falls silent even in a crowd around,
When I think of a special person, its only dreams, no sound,

Silently I gaze at the future with a twinkle in my eye,
Silently I look at the pain and joy ahead of me which lie,

Silence is peace, silence is horror,
It hurts and it heals,
But it’s the language of the world,
The divine beauty one must feel…..
