Silence

Silence is the most powerful language
It whispers and screams
Filling the empty room
With assumptions, fears,
Worries and lies.

Silence can move one to anger
To retaliation, to war,
Provoking, and even
Proving premonitions, bolstering
Feelings of despair.

Silence can, as well,
Allow feelings of love
To take root, watering the bud
With possibilities, sunning it
With dreams of the yet to come.
