# Silence Speaks #
Sometimes,
words step aside—
and silence
takes their place.
In that quiet,
memories return
like a soft rain.
A flicker of light
guides the path,
even when
everything feels dim.
Tears do not weaken—
they shape
what endures.
Time may change the face,
but never
the faith within.
Each scar,
a quiet testimony
of love.
Pause.
Breathe.
Listen—
silence
is not empty.
It is filled
with everything
we feel
but cannot say.

Thank you so much for your kind words. 😊
You’re absolutely right—silence often carries thoughts that words can’t fully express. I’m really glad the poem could reflect that feeling and resonate with you.
Grateful for your thoughtful appreciation. 🌸

It is important that we all have a chance to remain still and enjoy the silence, rather than try to fill it with words. Have a good Thursday. Allan
