Silence

A poem I wrote extoling the virtues of silence.

Silence

Silence is never empty
It always has-
Something.
It can be filled to bursting with silent
Love,
Hate,
Friendship,
Understanding,
And so many more
How to extol the virtues of silence?
It holds,
Like a gentle hand,
All the doubts,
Worries,
And hopes
Of us and our world
Cupped in between patient fingers.
Silence will never be empty.
