Silence
Gives only Itself
“What does it betoken, this silence?”
-Cromwell in Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons
Those happy gifts of meditation given
Unify self in wise tranquility
Pondering transcendent reality
Inside the narratives of the
pensive mind
Defining through an absence of endeavorsConsiderations of eternal verities
Outside the fallenness of space and time
Mankind can never be masters of
fate
Reason shows us that Cassius
was wrongAbout that, and about false fate itself
Doubts sometimes must determinations
precede
Every occasion for reason is
just and fair -
Soft silences are beautiful and
rare
