What is silence?
Is it a feeling
Is it a thought
Silence is reflecting
And remembering
Silence is pausing
And listening
What is silence?
Is it a feeling
Is it a thought
Silence is understanding
And thinking
Silence is calm
And soft
But most of all it is precious
Like gold
Hard to come by or get
So value it when you have it
