We silence what we don’t want to hear…
We feel
We see
We smell
We speak
The pain comes…
We hurt
We lack understanding
We choke
We ramble
Life has no rhyme lest we listen and hear
Perhaps It’s the one we should use the most
dVersepoetspub.com is considering “silence” today in poetry form. He mentions Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sounds of Silence”, one of my favorite artists and songs of my growing up years. I just considered all of the senses as I wrote this.

When you mentioned âsounds of silenceâ, also one of my favorites, I had high expectations but the poem let me down. It, too needs a re-write! What is the last line supposed to refer to?

The prompt was to write on silence, in any way you took it. The song was just an example. I took it in a different direction. You don’t listen, do you? Haha.

You are welcome. Expectations sometimes color how we see things. I think that was the case in the comment above.

Perhaps listening to the rhythms of life will help us move forward. But oh, the temptation to silence those things that challenge us is so powerful. Love this.

May we do not listen so as to avoid pain, but sooner or later it catches up.
