Analysis of If Silence Was Hidden

Patricia E. Dow 1960 (Chicago, IL)



If silence were hidden
Then quietness is forgiven
A shrouded, foggy, hazy, Pure Sky glides to blue
The Pure Heart Suns shines warmth, for it is due
Silence no longer hidden from view
For if quietness, it comes gently to you
Silence hidden, a tremendous find
Quietness forgiven, "Thought of Sight" to the mind
Silence whispers a tranquil Peace
Quietness brings upon a substantial monetary increase
Silence is to why a shrouded, foggy, hazy, Pure Sky glides to blue
Quietness to how a Pure Sky speaks to you
What is tangible to thought is recompensed Pure
To a vow of quietness, silence endures
There are ways silence hidden can be found
The ways are of Love, quietness abounds
Listen to a whisper that's only heard in thought
Silence is found, and to you in quietness is brought

About this poem

I wrote this poem because there are many secrets of the Earth, that I wanted to learn about. When I did research and inquiries all I kept hearing was "Silence" and a more gentle "Quiet".
