A silence with you
Is not
a silence
But a moment rich
with peace

Episode 109 - Eight is Enough
Today's show is all about the classic 1970 drama/comedy, Eight is Enough. We talk about the cast, the theming, the music, the ratings and much much more.
Hi Leonard! This is Denise from Mick and Liza’s last Shabbat. Love this poem! Wishing you many moments of this kind of silence.
Aloha nui, d
Shalom Leonard: What a delightful poem…remind me of my Dear Father. We would sit together in silence & just “be”. Your poem reminds of what we shared….
I remember when you worte poems for Blue Mountain Cards years ago….I used to buy them & send them to friends….no one knew up here in Canada you were a poet…you are my favorite….I aspire to write like you. Be well…live long & prosper (you knew it was coming). Sincerely Sherriellen T.
It took me a very long time to love the silence with another. Thank you for the poem.
Sincerely, Teri
Shalom: Mr. Nimoy has wonderful poetry. Deep and simple. those of the people who are writing trash about his poems must relize it is a matter of taste. if you don’t like it to bad, it’s still out there. you can’t change other peoples mind, so if you don’t mind, shut your trap and let the people who like these poems enjoy them. Thank you.
P.S Spock is awesome
Shalom is a greeting. A peaceful sentiment.
I like how Spock has avoided the temptation to disappear up his own rear end and write pure cobblers. Most logical.
If he wrote 361 more they’d make a great set of daily inspiration cards for Christmas presents.
Yes, and…..
Leonard, words are sacred.
You start and end with the narrowest of charms.
For example.
A silence with you
A silence with you
Is not
a silence
But a moment rich
with peace
It stirs into the deepest recess of me,
Silencing the noise within,
It is you.
You make me quiet,
Still
and fill me again
anew.
You see,
it needs balancing.
the only element you left out
was painful honest submission of your feelings.
Not surprised after aeons of being a sitcom puppet,
Beautiful man, may you find your swan song.
I discovered this website today. I have loved your poetry for years. Your words are few but full of meaning and touching. I bought Warmed by Love years ago for a friend years ago. I recently tried to find a copy for myself and was told thaf it is out of print. Do you have any poetry currently in print? I have been a fan since the early Star Trek days. You are amazingly talented!
I read your poetry many years ago and found them so inspirational! Thankyou
The poems I have just now are just the same
Thankyou
