Position:Home>Poetry> Perhaps a riddle, perhaps a poem, easily translated. Will you attempt?Question:SAY MY NAME AND BREAK ME I am secrets concealed in the blackest corners of the mind which gave me birth. I am the wisdom of the ages. Even fools are beautiful, when in me they rest. I am so fragile, but you've only to rest to have me at your side again. I am made of gold, beautiful beyond belief and in me you shall know divinity. I am the key to whatever door you wish to open. I am Silence. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: SAY MY NAME AND BREAK ME I am secrets concealed in the blackest corners of the mind which gave me birth. I am the wisdom of the ages. Even fools are beautiful, when in me they rest. I am so fragile, but you've only to rest to have me at your side again. I am made of gold, beautiful beyond belief and in me you shall know divinity. I am the key to whatever door you wish to open. I am Silence. Well, it was easily translated, but I like how you took on a great deal of interpretations for what silence is. It is golden, even fools when kept silent are considered wise, the key to a revelation from the divine. Perhaps, you have shown us the beauty of the written word is that it can be enjoyed, in silence. I am a tired fool in need of rest...but thorns will give me no sleep... That was beautiful. Very nice work:) At the end of my weekly yoga class, my instructor always says "And if you found any silence in this class, take it with, on into your evening and tomorrow...." this reminded me of that. Very nice. Silence, like fire, is a blessing and a curse. At times it may be golden, but when words need to be spoken, "silence breaks the heart." Your poem beautifully expresses the positive aspects of silence. Wow, this is a cool way to look at silence, although, as Elaine P said, silence breaks the heart. Maybe you should do another one on that subject. Love, loved it. I'm speechless! |
