Linda’s #SoCS prompt for this week:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “silent/silence.” Use one or both in your post. Have fun!

The Colour of Silence

Silence is golden
I often hear say
But I'd like to think different
That is, if I may
For silence can come 
In a total array
Of colours, depending on
What you're feeling that day

That deafening silence
Can feel rather black
When you're thinking that
No one's quite got your back

The silence of loss
Comes across as quite blue
When you're filling a void
Not knowing what to do

When silent anger is simmering
Deep inside your head
No, that's not golden,
You're just seeing red

That silence you hear 
When it's late at night
Kids asleep, no disturbances
That's purely white

In the peace of the moment, 
When all is quite calm
That silence is purple
It does you no harm

And yes, it can feel, sometimes
Silver or golden
As you accept life
When your body does olden

A rainbow of quiet
See, what I said was true
Feel silence in so many ways
Not only just a few
Cos silence it comes in 
In many a hue
We all like some quiet
Which colour's for you?

Day twenty-one of #JusJoJan!

I’m going to try to write on each of the prompts!

Today the prompt is:

Your prompt for January 21st, 2018, brought to you by my dear blog sis Willow, is Silence.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Willow at her blog, “Willowdot21” to read her post and say hi! Here’s her link: https://willowdot21.wordpress.com/

Thanks, Sis!

Silence

Silence can be truly golden.

It can show the peace, the spiritual sanctity of a blessed mind.

A place where there is no need for words or conversations, just a feeling of contentment.

But silence can also be harrowing.

Words that need to be spoken, yet left unsaid.

A waiting period where you don’t hear a thing…

Personally, I prefer an atmosphere with the quiet (not often!) chatter of my kids, the chirruping of my birds, the purring of my cat, and the presence of my Hubby Dearest. He’s not a man of many words, but knowing he’s by my side is enough…

When in the company of friends, I want to hear laughter, and meaningful conversation.

Silence… now I need that when I’m reading!!!

See you tomorrow!
