A conversation in silence

This happens whenever am with
ocean....
Have you ever heard silence speak?
I never did until,
Words never told,
Started to speak.

I share this beautiful relationship
Of mutual respect affection and love is
What I believe.

It’s surprising,
How loud could silence be!
It’s surprising to believe,
How shallow an hour of effective chat could be!
If untold words could be so strong,
Why bother to speak,
at all?
If silence could fathom the depth
Even you are unaware of,
Why do we need words
to convey our thoughts?
I enjoy the silence surrounding me,
The thoughts

That words could have never preached!
I wish there were no words at all,
And silence was the only way to communicate to all,
A truthful existence after all.


Have to develop the art to write without rhyming!! am getting bored of myself...:)

oops! I Am not sure if i commented
earlier...:(

I wanted to say:

Can i borrow some of those lines?
They sound really nice..

Some like me might just have started visiting...
SO please get refreshed and keep rhyming.

U needed words to express your thoughts on silence..
There lies one of the needs for uttering any sentence:)

They are complements..
To dislike one will be our ignorance:)

@IRIS /AI - True, may be 'words and silence' together helps us enjoy this journey :),

clarifications...
-U can address me as Iris:)
-U wanted to express something about silence...but u had to do it with words:)...which is not exactly silence, is it? That is one of the reasons for me saying "they are complements".

And, do keep rhyming(in the right amount;).

I am yet to learn to converse in silence...(beign a non-believer in telepathy, it is very tough to converse in silence;)

Nice words! Have you ever tried vipassana yoga? It is getting more and more popular in the US. They let you sit on a mountain for 10 days, and you are supposed to not to talk to anybody, but just converse with yourself.
