Silence Is Golden Poem by Frederick Nellist

Silence is the genius of fools and wise
An expression for displaying scorn
Silence wont disturb while you slumber
Brings peace of mind when two ways torn.

Silence a whisper that sooths the breast
A conversation with words unspoken
Prevents the sound of flowers growing
Sweet music heard when sound unbroken.

Silence is a slow burning candle flame
A recalled memory of a summer dream
Kisses bestowed to your sleeping lover
A kittens reflection in a saucer of cream.

The language of a long forgotten meeting
Like still water it never makes a sound
The thoughts erupting from a busy mind
Silence is a statement wise and profound.
