OSI: Silence

I went to church today
and watched the masses munch on Jesus,
drinking down the blood of Christ,
in this place I made my home.
I remembered how I
believed in something holy
for a moment.
Anger is a kind of passion,
I suppose.
You said silence was violence,
but silence is the kindest thing
I ever did for you.

I love that comment in response to this poem because it's sorta like a poem itself- in that it kinda has me thinking one moment that I know what you are agreeing with and the next moment that I'm not sure.

I think the kindest thing one can do for someone else is giving space,, and that can be given only through silence.. or shall I say acceptance.. I liked the way you weaved each line.. and brought us to Soothing Silence..
