Though this is long, I enjoyed reading it. I think you have penned something amazing. It made me think in some areas, and question in a few others. The emotion was well done as was the purpose of it. Flow was not an issue in this piece, it was done quite well in fact. Excellent job

Silence is Golden
in a temple of peace or solitude
When the soul is seeking out someone eternal
or when cherishing some ethereal memories
Alone, in all that worldly confusion full of lies

^ Silence is golden! -> I definitely agree with that!
And here, the first stanza directed my thoughts to the relation between humans and God. Silence between them... is just a connection. A tight one!

Silence is sometimes needed
to let our thoughts wander far and wide
when we are thinking deep, quiet or aloud
as a scientist, an artist or a monk
to find that elusive discovery, wonderful artistry or truth

^ In this stanza, you can tell that not only silence in prayers.. but also in every other thing.. work.. art.. poetry..

Brilliant, indeed.

Silence can be ominous
when delivered as a mortal blow
to the psyche, heart or the soul
leaving them speechless, bleeding and wounded
it can be fatal you know, even to the immortal

^ What an amazing scenery.

Silence is a golden stone-heart
one made of material tougher than granite
but is there really any stone or heart in this world
that hard or invincible
that a diamond cutter's pen not cut through
^ And omg.. the last three verses are brilliantly penned.!!!

I love it. You just developed 'silence is golden' in so many thoughts, tightly connected and of vividness and thickness!! :)
really amazing.
