    Silence

    There is a place called silence where peace abides and wars rage.
    How battles are won and memories come of age.

    Silence can hide the truth and a harbor fears.
    It can tell a whole story and it can replace tears.

    Sometimes silence is called golden and it also can disguise fools.
    Silence can be the weapon of choice for those who don't have the tools.

    When silence prevails the whole world can hear it.
    The culmination of the truth for all those who fear it.

    Profound, deep, interesting read... you did it again! Did you get the concept of the part about silence being golden and disguising fools from Proverbs in the Bible? That's my favorite book of the Bible and it often speaks of fools as those who just talk too much, but you appear wise when you speak less and listen more. Anyway, this was a great poem ;-)

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
