Silence is always welcomed

By Kwenela Tubbs

Over here or over there,
A friend who shares or a friend who swears,
Whether I get a response or get denied;
Silence is always welcomed.

---

Close to silence comes peace.
Maybe it’s why death,
seems “pleasing” to the restless;
But chaos is chosen as their necklace,
When silence is not welcomed.

---

I have her with me now,
Because I received her.
Only joy can compare,
To her serene pleasure.

---

No person can conceive,
or deliver through any deeds,
What silence can only bring,
When silence is welcomed!

---

I cherish the stillness of her tone,
Invited the sound of her repose.
She’s always welcomed in my home,
Silence is always welcomed.

---

It’s peace that she gave to me,
Peace…
…she never left me.
The world cannot give her to me,
Because silence was not welcomed.

---

With them,
silence was boring.
To them,
Peace upset their appetite.
Souls became rampant with strife.
Because silence was not welcomed.

---

So much noise,
That it’s constant.,
With spirits derailed,
by a broken conscience.

For it was the fruit,
Of their demise,
That quenched
their appetite.
So peace was denied.
As silence was not welcomed.

---

Ignore her if you choose,
But you can’t help but tell,
The sounds and the cries,
Of the anguished that prevail.

Is this even worth it?
I ask;
Oh!
I do pray tell,
For Hell is never full,
When silence is not welcomed.

---

Whether here or there,
Through lack of restraint
She was dismissed and never heard.

---

Not a hint nor a faint,
Her presence far from the disdained;
The world was even made by her Name!
And yet silence was not welcomed.

---

But I have her because I cherished her,
And she delighted in me.
If any comes to disrupt our affair,
Denied and cut off they will be.

---

For I won’t live without her!
By her wisdom,
I’m preserved
in His Word.

For He is my Comforter;
In Him I have Life!

Peace was given,
Absent of strife.

In His House I’ll never die,
In His silence that’s always welcome.
