In the realm where silence reigns, a tale unfolds,
Where golden tranquility the heart beholds.
A choice to remain silent, a virtue untold,
Yet agitated, words escape, both harsh and bold.
The world, a tempestuous sea of strife,
A battlefield where words can cut like a knife.
Choosing words, a labyrinth to navigate,
Once spoken, arrows soar, sealing fate.
No retreat, no redemption, once the arrow is shot,
For words, once released, cannot be caught.
Fear grips my soul, as silence intertwines,
The pressure builds, a volcano’s fiery signs.
How can I keep the peace within my core,
And yet express the thoughts that I adore?
Show me the way, oh whispering wind,
To speak my truth, and yet not rescind.
Let patience guide my tongue with gentle might,
To quell the anger, to keep words contrite.
In the face of provocation, let wisdom be my guide,
To choose words carefully, and not collide.
Grant me the strength to remain steadfast and calm,
To hold my ground, like a sheltering palm.
For silence, when chosen, holds a power untold,
But speaking with grace can mend what’s been untold.
In the stillness of silence, I’ll find my reprieve,
A sanctuary where truth and peace interweave.
With empathy as my compass, compassion my aid,
I’ll find the balance where silence and speech are weighed.
So let me learn the art of mindful words,
To heal, uplift, and bridge the divides incurred.
Silence is gold, a treasure we must keep,
But with careful discourse, bridges we shall leap.
Guchi.
