Deaf

this is really good, Chi,
I love the tone and the image...

I'm humbled, dear Paul by the very nice comment
of a DU poet I much adore!
... and thank you kindly for the reading list entry!

I love this, so many people need to stop talking every once in a while

And when words become swords
than they have
to please shut up!

more is said in silence,
if only we were listening...

If only ...
But hurting words
can be said in silence, too.

Haha! It's true! Over the years, I've been fired from many a job because of this inability to stop speaking my mind. Silence is often wisdom. Thanks for that, Chiyo!

Si tacuisses philosophos mansisses (Boëthius).
If you had kept your silence, you would have stayed a philosopher :-).
I think I'd have more friends if I kept my silence :-).
Thanks for your kind words, Ben!

Very well written Chiyo...I understand.....

Yes, JeJe, you surely do. Thank you so much!

Wha?? Come again? I didn't catch that... Lol

Yea, I heard you lady... Loud n clear, excellent! :)

Thanks to you, dear Poe.
I'm glad you hear me.
Everyone should be heard!

In Africa I read the following
written on a wall:

Children should be heard
not hurt.

Sometimes silence can be a strong weapon....
I like how you always change the mood of your tales!!!

Silence can be a strong weapon
and a good defense.
I like your insightful comments, Liz,
and like to thank you for the precious
time you spend on my poems.

Some words leave permanent scars, i'd rather be deaf too.
Always wise, your poems teach so much, ty Ms. Chi!

I'm really sorry you can
relate to that ...
Life taught me
a lesson and I definitely
learned mine.
Experience influence my poems
and I appreciate your
interest and kind
reflection on them, Vee!

Chi, you bring back uncomfortable memories: people who speak like runaway trains. I retreat to the silence of libraries...

Don't hate me for that, John!!!
That's a great metaphor, runaway trains ...
I love that!
I can fully relate to your finding
comfort in libraries. Books talk to us
but in low though insistent voices.
I love them, too, the libraries.
Perhaps we'll meet
in one some day :-)!

Ha,very true Miss Chi...words hurt,sometimes forever.

Because their hurting remains
keep nesting
underside our scarred skin.
Thanks Hashman!

fer Christ's sake Miss Chi..you wrote what she said in so many words..you're not you, you're she!

Powerfully expressed dear friend! xo

Dear Tom,my friend,
she or me ..
So many souls
unite in our bodies
sharing one heart
that you'll never can be sure
who's who.
Thank you! xoxoxo
