Silence

I haven't read yet but thought the name reminded me.

“He Would Never Use One Word Where None Would Do”

Fact is silence is the perfect
Water:
Unlike rain it falls from no clouds
To wash our minds, to ease
Our tired eyes,
To give heart to the thin blades
Of grass
Fighting through the concrete
For even air
Dirtied by our endless stream
Of words

Philip Levine (Poet Laureate)
