Silence

Words have so much power,

So much power in silence.

One can be perceived in many ways, the other cannot-

That’s what is its essence.

Silence cannot be misunderstood.

It doesn’t have the power to hurt, when the words can cut through woods.

Silence has the beauty to take the shape of any vessel,

Words however can get one into a tussle.

When words fall short,

When someone goes through a storm,

A silent prayer, a silent presence…. is all one needs to calm.
