A gateway through which so very few pass, <br />Silence first stills, then opens new vistas. <br />Busy minds tire but quiet revives, alas <br />Calm cannot speak if it feels resistance. <br /> <br />Noiseless voices croon repose to still minds. <br />So fall dumb, allow for hushed times, refine <br />The peace silence sings which heals and rightly <br />We need soundless places quiet heightens. <br /> <br />Bliss of tranquillity waits, so give place <br />To its resounding. True gold of silence <br />Once accepted will transform worry's waste <br />And show this way to live as being wise.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gateway-of-silence/
