Silence

in poem •  7 years ago 

source

When things are in turmoil,
Utilize silence.
Silence is more eloquent than writing,
More forceful than words.
It has never betrayed anybody.
If you doubt your own wisdom,
Remain silent.
In silence we conceal our own shortcomings
And hear the mistake of others.
Even the unwise have been considered wise in their silence.
The heart prompts a man to talk,
But the head should act as a check valve.
Few men have ever regretted being silent,
But many have made statements
They wished were unspoken.
