The winners of the Steemit Poetry Contest #2

1st Place - “Ecnelis” by @joeandrew97

When words doesn’t fit in,

We shouldn’t talk, whisper nor sigh.

Things sometimes are exactly how they seem,

Silence as a scream…

You feel powerless and frail.

Unspeakable sorrows in this tale

Want to speak out but you fail,

Silence as a jail…

When everything is already said,

You can lie down on your bed.

Finally breaks down the storm,

Silence as home…

2nd Place - "The Loudness of Silence" by @jennfer

Oh Silence! You're often misunderstood,

You can make or break anyone's mood,

You can provoke a person to become more mad,

Or cause a lonely one to become even more sad.

Soundless, yet you're louder than a scream,

You're an introvert's ultimate dream,

You're appreciated by those who want to be heard,

You're an act of respect and politeness even without saying a word.

You give us a moment of quiet introspection,

A necessity in times of meditation,

Self realization is what you always promote,

More importantly you help us find peace and inner growth.

3rd Place - "Serenity"by @kalki-aum

I find myself in a Serene Space,

Harmonious Vibrations and no one to face!

Beautiful day, Beautiful night,

Live life good and all feels right!

I Love the Silence in Nature's space,

In Peace I sit, not running no race!

This is wonderful, I have to say,

Be true to yourself and have an amazing day!

How lovely it is to practice self love,

Always in the moment, here and now!

Not dreaming of the future or stuck in the past;

Be aware of this or life may pass by too fast.
