Silence is the element <br />In which great things fashion themselves. <br /> <br />The words of the prophets <br />Are written on the subway walls <br />And tenement halls <br />And whispered in the sounds of silence. <br /> <br />Silence saved the man the thugs came for, <br />But the screaming fellow took the bullets <br />Silence a remedy for harm <br />Life is a pregnant silence. <br />Light silence, dark speech. <br /> <br />Stones are mute teachers; <br />They silence the observer, <br />And the most valuable lesson <br />We learn from them we cannot communicate <br /> <br />Silence alone is respectable and respected. <br />I believe God to be silence<br /><br />T Ebi Ken Jemine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-power-of-silence/
