Silence may be golden But sometimes silence is dark and cold Silence can be lonely Silence can be calm Silence can help you think Silence can keep you from rest The world around you may be silent But your mind may be screaming Silence can push your own thoughts to the forefront Causing discomfort To silence the mind Is to be mindful Your mind being clear means you are being mindful To be focused on the silence around you means you've met silence in your mind A blank slate A new start Silence
