Forest Silence
Popular Poems Topics for You.
The forest teaches silence differently—
not the absence of sound, but its arrangement,
the bird in the distance, the creak of the branch,
the particular acoustic enchantment.
In the forest the sounds become the silence,
the noise becomes the ground of quiet rest,
and something in the chest releases something
that the city pressed against the chest.
I go to the forest to be reminded
that silence is not nothing—it is full,
that peace is not the stopping of the world
but the world in its most beautiful pull.
