It can be powerful in the right setting but devastating in the wrong one,
It can mean neither agreement or disagreement,
But can be taken as either,
It is not weakness or lack of confidence,
But it can be perceived as such,
It often knows more than it says,
And sees more than what’s displayed,
It sometimes says all that can be said,
It can be underestimated and mistaken for indifference,
It can make great impact for good or bad,
It can make even a fool appear sensible,
It can destroy you if it lingers where words are needed,
It can bring an inner calm and peace when you silence the noise within,
It can be a tool to heal or harm,
This thing called silence, is it always golden?
“Silence is of different kinds, and breathes different meanings.”
Charlotte Bronte
