Stay Gold

Preface: 

Well, I tried to put my relation with silence over time in words here!🙃

Stay Gold

In her younger days

she was taught quite often

'silence is golden'

so she imagined silence

as an object sturdy, precious and golden

meant to be protected at any cost!

But it was only quite later

did she realise

that silence was nothing

but an elastic thin transparent layer

a balloon, meant to be filled

with words, absolutely golden..

Only later did she realise

that there was much to listen

as a lot was already being said

mindless musings and hurried ramblings

genius thesis and profound analysis..

and that silence was fragile

easily pricked, easily deflated

and yet she let

many balloons of silence inflate 

and float up in the air beside her

filled with newly extracted gold..

So now finally she knows

that it's not the balloon

that is of value

but the air it contains..

that silence is but a filter

that separates her valuables

from the rest..

Sometimes, you see

she finds her gold

just a needle prick away!

Postface : 

Well, words are my golden treasure, I see to it that they do get to stay gold,forever eternally gold!💛
