If you want to write stories that sparkle and shine,
Don’t rush every moment—make silence your sign.
For silence grows sentences, steady and true,
It teaches your heart what the words ought to do.
The chatter will scatter your thoughts far away,
But silence will center the things you must say.
So listen to whispers, to feelings, to streams,
That can pour out like gold from your dreams.
A writer who listens has treasure to find.
The pauses bring pictures to shape the mind.
So don’t fear the quiet. It’s part of the art,
To sharpen your voice and give it more heart.
So hush for a moment. Let the silence begin.
That’s where great stories can rise from within.
After you’ve listened, then speak when it’s right.
Your words will have power, your pages bright.
