Within words
Within gestures
Within expressions
It says nothing
…
Without words
Without gestures
Without expressions
It says everything
…
Between the lines
All silence portrays
Words left unsaid
…
A picture
An action
A reaction
…
Hidden beneath
Unruly waters
Into the deep abyss
…
Unspoken
Unbidden
Forbidden
…
Silence is a beacon
Shedding its light
Onto the path of truth
…
But you mistake silence
For weakness
For falsehoods
For untrustworthiness
…
And with your mistake
You sink
Into oblivion
