In Grammar As in Life (part 3)

While meaning proliferates

In everything we do or say

(through words upon words

we long to improve

a hundred different ways)

It is silence that best

Reveals the Yin mystery 

Greater includes lesser

So better less said 

At work as at play

Metonymy being irrefutable

And undeniably beautiful

There's no greater beauty

Than silence that enfolds

The silence within

This is part of an ongoing series of poems I have written over the past few years.  ( You can read prior parts here and here.)   I'm not sure what these poems have in common beyond the title and the time of year in which they were written.  Today's poem was further prompted by the odd experience of visiting one of my old high schools - one of the several places I was expelled from in the course of my mis-spent youth, which may help you better understand at least part of what I was thinking about when I wrote these verses.
