Silence - a rare gift
Blessings of the sacred heart
Eyes speak out the words.
Fingers on your lips
Teacher shouts at the children
Now pin drop silence.
The kiss of passion
In the Garden of Eden
Lord smiles silently.
Silence of the Lambs
Hopkins - Foster masterpiece
The perfect thriller.
Silence rules my heart
As I wade through roads of thorns
You light up my world.
This Haiku is shared with
Good one mate.

ReplyDeleteStrong words Green Speck..people often confuse silence with loneliness..when you know you are not truly alone maybe that's when silence is truly golden..jae
ReplyDeleteWell said Jae :-)
DeleteSilence is a subject very close to my heart. So, I can relate to this poem which you have penned so eloquently. It is the greatest quality one can have, not only silence by not speaking but silence of thoughts too by calming down our mind-we come to that stage through meditation.
ReplyDeleteAnd "Silence of the lambs" is one of my all time favourite movies , I loved Jodie Foster in it and I loved the book too ! Anthony Hopkins was too good!
Silence is precious to all of us. It's a unique phase where we can look back at our lives and also plan for the future. Silence calms the mind and the soul. I take silence as a meditative stance :-)
DeleteAnd yes, Silence Of The Lambs is my favorite too :-)
I'm not going to keep quiet about this... it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Laurie :-)
DeleteYou have written about so many different types of silence. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad there is light in your world. This is a beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteThe teacher shouting silence - so true, I used to be a grade school teacher and my lips are still puckered.
ReplyDelete"Eyes speak out the words" - great line, of all times
Enjoyed each and every one!
Thank You so much Judith :-)
DeleteThis is so beautiful.. Silence is must in my life.. It is a gift and so precious to me..
ReplyDeleteSilence of the Lambs is my all time favourite movie.. I'm a big fan of thriller movies! ;)
Same with me Fida ... Silence is priceless :-)
DeleteIt's interesting how you took this from beauty to scandal to dark and back to light. Perhaps a reflection of real relationships. They travel many unsuspected paths.
ReplyDeleteVery true .... You have analysed it perfectly :-)
DeleteI specially like the first one ~ Have a good weekend ~
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace :-) You too have a great weekend :-)
Deleteyes, silence can be beautiful, powerful, restoring, comforting all of
ReplyDeletethese qualities. well done g. thinking and writing.
Thank You Paige :-)
DeleteLove them all, particularly the last one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara :-)
DeleteI'm liking your 'Silence' poem, G.S. I never thought of Adam and Eve kissing in the Garden of Eden. Surely they must.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of the word Silence I think of a ready made song of the 60-70's, "Silence is Golden":
Oh, don't it hurt deep inside
"To see someone do something' to her?
Oh, don't it pain to see someone cry?
Oh especially when someone is her
Silence is golden
But my eyes' still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see":
