Silence whispers to my soul
Be at peace and rest your will.
Quiet all that in you screams,
Of solitude and joy take your fill.
Withdraw into this space,
Listen with a humble heart.
Only then can you go forward
Only then of life can you be a part.
The joy, the peace, the solitude,
How I wish I could forever stay.
But life is beckoning me come forward
Come forward and live this day.
So peace I will carry inside me
Joy and Love I will take to share.
This silence will remain in my heart.
To nourish , to give away, to care.
But oh great silence wait for me,
Be here if I need return a while.
I never leave here empty,
Nor go away without a smile

For me I am listening to God, for non Theists I would guess yourself, your inner voice.

I believe that it is in the silence that God speaks. It is meant to be reflective and meditative.

Love it. I'm afraid you won't find much of a poetry crowd in here though. Technically the rhyming is a little scattered (every other line then skip a few then back to every other line) Other than that I think its a great poem. Good luck fellow poetess.

I felt the poem to be very peaceful and calming.

Some people might not get it . I liked it, it makes you think . At first i just read it quickly but on the second time i had a better understanding of what you were trying to convey. Good job keep it up.

I liked the lines "only then can you go forward, only then of life can you be a part." The rest I didn't follow too many different feelings stick with one.

A bit hard to wrap my brain around it, but I think I got it the second time around.
The only line that I can't understand is "Listen with a humble heart..."
What are you listening to? And why is humility needed?

LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE...THERE'S NOTHING BUT SILENCE AND SOLITUDE IN YOUR LIFE BY SOUNDS OF IT OR SHOULD I SAY BY THE SILENCE OF IT. (sorry about caps I keep hitting caps lock)
