Silent Witness

Hush now,

There are demons about.

It doesn’t help

To rush head on.

It won’t affect

to die in valor.

The loudest, so often,

miss the whispered truth:

That the critical point

Is the one exposed in silence.

Hush now. Watch.

See the crucial moment in the whirling chaos.

Spot the meaning in the roil of action.

Silence is the one true witness

Quiet is the judge

Mute, the executioner.
