Silence, My Truest Companion
Moment of Silence entry.
She breathes stillness
in the early hours of dawn and late hours of dusk
listening to my heartbeat
elegant and enchanting
never encroaching, always encouraging
calming at the height of calamity
ever present - my truest companion

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

They say "jack of all trades, master of none," but they forgot to mention the part where the jack of all trades is also the camera woman, the makeup artist, and the person currently yelling at a tangled Wii microphone cable in a her own bathroom while recording herself singing and trying to make it look realistic and professional. (As professional as you can make it with nothing but a cell phone camera and a mic that doesn't work)

Such a sweet and calming poem! Well done Paul
Very charming! Love me some silence. Until I don’t, then I can’t get rid of it! 🤪
This is beautiful! I really felt the truth in this one! ❤
This was so beautiful Paul!! A nice way to change up the melancholia and store of consciousness... This felt very loving and elegant in its poignancy! Great work!!

This is absolutely lovely- you can feel the calming stillness in every line. Excellent work, Paul! :)
Good work. We should all appreciate what nature gives us.
Heartfelt and lovely.
See, now that's just lovely. Silence as a friend or other? Who know? Who cares because this was just lovely.
So soft, so gentle, so good.
Serene and sensational, good sir!
