A “Deeper Wisdom” Poem
What Does Silence Know?
That bite of tongue can be so wise,
the loudness of heartbeats and sighs,
the blossom of creative tries;
this, does silence know.
That loneliness can be profound,
there’s peace away from things that pound,
God-whispers are a soothing sound;
this, does silence know.
I came across a poetry challenge posted on Today’s Little Ditty, founded by Michelle Heidenrich Barnes. She interviewed Joyce Sidman, who challenged readers to write a “deeper wisdom” poem. I’ve had an empty house with no one around the past few days, so silence asked me to write about her!
