soft as silence

flower girl's fresh petals bloom
pure fragrance and dainty treats
cloudy rainbow candy lady roses
drift merrily bells all dancing

eden's grass lush mild drizzle 
fine dew faint voices murmur
pastel green purple lilies float
drifts pure clear serene water

~

breathing wishes and live dreams
quiet shouts peaceful screams
soft as thunder hard as silence
shades faint moonshadow shine
 
dawn rose modest blush frosty veil
gentle tenderness strong strongest
stronger than passion and rage
gentle gently gentler gentlest

~

softly softness softest softer soft
silence silent silently
gentle sigh
soft as silence

A gathering of thoughts representing softness and gentleness? I liked the indication of the strength of gentleness, the strength needed for gentleness. In the Bible Proverbs (16:32) it says that controlling your temper and being patient show greater strength than great warriors!

Yes thanks it is so Rhiannon and I know the verse well it is very appropriate, the KJ Bible says “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city”.

Always pleased to hear from you! Keep well & Nolan

Hi Nolan,

you always manage to create such gentle poems. This one is filled with love and tenderness.

A fine tribute to someone special.

I liked this. I quite enjoyed the "peaceful screams," and "hard as silence," lines. I also like how you contradicted the "hard" and "soft" silence. Good word choices.
