When Silence Speaks

When Silence Speaks

By Frank Bolaji Irawo

Listen intently

Listen carefully

Resist the itch

To Interrupt and quit

Let it go deeper still

It comes from within the chasm

The place where the void exists

Can you hear it?

Inviting you deeper within

Way beyond the cursory notion

Past the well-trodden places

Where trite responses lie within reach

To the very depths

Where the treasure of unerring wisdom speaks

Hidden from the discomfort of noise

Offering up untainted undisturbed "truth"

Riches for those who take the time to listen

When silence speaks
