A gateway through which so very few pass,
Silence first stills, then opens new vistas.
Busy minds tire but quiet revives, alas
Calm cannot speak if it feels resistance.

Noiseless voices croon repose to still minds.
So fall dumb, allow for hushed times, refine
The peace silence sings which heals and rightly
We need soundless places quiet heightens.

Bliss of tranquillity waits, so give place
To its resounding. True gold of silence
Once accepted will transform worry's waste
And show this way to live as being wise.
