Silence speaks
Silence screams
Silence talks louder
than any other word
that cuts true the heart
like a sword.
Silence speaks
Silence screams
Silence echoes in my ears
to my eyes it brings tears.
Silence speaks
Silence screams
Silence drives me
around the bend.
What's the problem I do not understand.
Silence speaks
Silence screams
Silence is the weapon of your choice
To cut through my heart
Like a sword
without saying a single word.

The first is the ability to perceive with all one's senses everything that is happening at a particular moment. The second ingredient is the importance of silence. Check it out and try writing your own piece about silence.
