Where Silence Lives

Silence is not empty—
it gathers in corners,
rests between breaths,
waits where words fail.
I have sat beside it,
felt its weight soften
into something like peace.
In that quiet,
the heart speaks differently,
not louder,
but truer
than any sound
I have ever known.

    Silence, softening into peace…a great image and explanation why we don’t yak it up while meditating. Nice work, this. Thanks

    You captured silence in your quadrille, Maggie. I love the thought of it gathering in corners and resting between breaths. And yes, the weight of silence does soften.
