How Can I Reply To Silence?





The words the happy say
Are paltry melody

But those the silent feel

Are beautiful--


- Emily Dickinson



Can you hear the silence of my words?


- Ghostwise


~~~~~~~~~"


Sticks and stones are hard on bones.

Aimed with angry art,

Words can sting like anything.

But silence breaks the heart.


- Phyllis McGinley



I can reply to the harshest words
But how can I reply to silence?


- Ghostwise
