This poem is a call to Silence. A reminder of the value of stopping. Being still. Listening to my inner voice.

Thank you

I love the idea of a conversation with/in (within) silence.

You can’t have music without the rests. I actually think there is a subsequent prompt to follow: the words left unsaid.

In lives that are all about words (including but not limited to writers), nothing is more important than cultivating silence. And though it sounds counter-intutive, that's when the best words - at least for me - find the space to come in.
