Sun and Shadows

Contemplating what the right action for the right time. When to speak and when to be silent...

And then he decided there was also a moment to be silent

To stand back and observe

 

There is no need to be vocal when the words won’t be heard

And the silence may be even louder than the

Things he was saying before

 

There is no need to speak unless there is a need

And if so he will speak

Until then

There is a moment

When some must learn to walk

 

And he must let them fall down

This is learning

 

This is a necessary process

And that is what he must learn

To be silent and not hinder the learning

Of others

With his noise

 

This is the time to observe

Introspectively and reverse

To take in what must be seen and

To remember what has happened

 

Don’t let them wear you down

Just let them do as they will

And learn what they must

 

Life moves in circles

Into the sun and into the shadows

I will see the horizon soon

Superb Work! Absolutely profound and insightful poetry! Every word and every line that you have so poetically etched is true. Indeed, change is the only constant, and you will see the horizon soon. My favourite line in this piece are:

This is a necessary process

And that is what he must learn

To be silent and not hinder the learning

Of others

With his noise

. your humility shines in these lines ... and he who is humble is truly great ... exceptional work, my friend ...
