Misunderstood

Hear the silent way
It is those dark fears you hide
A slow way to breath

Silence is holy
The judgment spoken aptly
No more endless words

Words that bury you
With wary, meaningless time
To some, no replies

Speak always knowing
words are golden coins to save
spend them shamelessly 

Hear that which only
Has greater meaning for you
Listen closely now.
