Sometimes
You must walk on
Through reeds
That sway sweetly
In silence
Because silence is the word
Telling you to move forward
Speaking to your mind
Comforting your soul
Picking up your feet
Along the trail of truce
Even if it only leads
Back to your own heart

great closing line….and i like that silence is the word calling you forward….the trail of truce to your own heart takes the cake though…smiles.
Thank you, Brian.
sometimes
I need the silence
to finally hear

So true…life is so loud. Thanks for “listening” to my poem.
Very nice. I forget about the calming affect of silence way too often. This is a great reminder. 🙂
Thanks!! 🙂
silence can pack some powerful words.
It can…we just have to stop and listen. Thanks for dropping by. 🙂
misundertood, ty for leading my way here to this beautiful poem and photography of yours. i have been practicing ‘silence’ lately, to shut out the world, to listen to my heart, to be still and this poem resonated so deeply. this line especially;
‘Along the trail of truce’

This is beautiful, and understands that solitude is a healthy, much-needed time, away from all that distracts.
I like your interpretation….and sometimes, the only resolution we can find is with ourselves.
Thanks for your comments. 🙂
Great last line!
