Poem -
No guest
Silence is no guest
in this life,
It is the water
that cleanses;
the breath that clears
the dust from the day.
I always put
every spoken word
on a wobbly stack,
each sentence I’ve heard
on ten others,
never archiving them
until I am home again
seated on the lap of silence.

This is quite the mindful write. How often do we sit back after a day, and reflect on the clutter in our minds. Really beautifully depicted in this wonderful almost like a meditation, poem
Gwen :)
Thank you, Gwen, the Lady knows I have over forty adult years experiences in cluttering the mind and only a few years of de cluttering in silence😁
Such an intrinsically deep poem John. Language, how it has evolved, how we inspire each other. Really it is an infinite loop am I right. Such a thought provoking read here. Just had to pin
Hi, Max thanks again. To think I wrote this late at night and almost dumped it for it seemed too light, too simple... Luckily I had a good night's sleep and a little help from the wife disagreeing with one detail in the translation (it's originally Dutch)... Have a good day😄🙏
Quiet can be deafening indeed.
Great poem.
Hanx, and indeed silence can be deafening, drowning our all daily noises. There is way too much unnecessary noise in the world 🙏
