It's overwhelmingly sad
that silence has a thickness
to it that can smother.
It's wanted and then it becomes
heavy like an American tongue
that can't roll the Rrrr's.
No trills. No frills.
Just still.

Silence is a blessing but it can be deafening if your head isn’t straight. Sometimes during Zen I get insecure for a sound to assure me of reality, yet, I love the quiet! So I quess it can cut both ways.
In general I seek silence whenever I can... ((((((Nikki))))’❤️

Dear N,
I’d never put thought to this only that I know this to be true. I love quiet and solitude until I don’t. When my ears are about to explode from the silence I know it’s time to make some calls. I love your perspective and the pictures that caption them. Genius. H🌷

Thickness in silence ... how original ... love the weight of that ... crisp ... poignant ... love the last stanza ... the image shakes up the mind ... in preparation for the poem ... excellent all around ...

I am going to call this poem ... "The Poem Formerly Known As Silence" ... just to get in the Prince frame of mind ...
