Faith Seeds: Prayers and Poetry

Clatter

There is a proverb somewhere

that says even a fool appears

wise if he does not speak.

Yet silence has hidden

away in our world of

continuous sound: communication

we say. Advanced technology

at the push of a key;

send, delete, fax, text,

instant access requiring

instant response. React.

No time to hear

what is being actually said,

no time—to recognize fools.
