Silence

Silence.
There's nothing more powerful than silence in a crowded room
What is so powerful to cause such silence?
What words can be said to get those ignorant
All their lives they've opened their mouths
Said things they don't mean but refuse to take back.
Rude words & cruel phrases slip right from their tongues
They never realized that words have so much more power
More than we give them credit for.
But what really makes the world notice isn't the noise.
It's silence.
The way silence can expand & connect the world
Emotions meld until the crowd is one
Moving together in one silent bunch.
All those ignorant people, suddenly open their eyes
Never before seeing those whose eyes were always open
Constantly seeing the people & the world
Hearts lie beneath the surface
Opening, closing to let people in or keep others out.
These hearts they beat as one in the silence
Making no sound, just keeping us alive
Silence
In a single room, in a quiet forest
Together, but apart, silent, but deafening
Up & the down, messy but clean
I know silence, it's something I like best
To be held in some one's arms, enjoying the view
A view from a hilltop, away from civilization
Where I can sing to myself all on my own.
Sometimes in his arms, but always just me
Living in the silence, in the peace that I feel
Feeking, just feeling the warm scented air
Blow through my body & leaving silence & that's where I'll stay.
