Analysis of Silence
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
It is beautiful.
It is golden.
It is magical
A soothing embalming cloak.
It is tangible.
It is velvety.
It is warm
A companion to a troubled mind.
It is divine.
It is sacred.
It is holy
The key to a good prayer!
It is musical.
It is lyrical.
It is melody
Divine healing tones.
