Simple Silence
Simple said, "Yes, I will."
Simple thought, This will work for me.
Silence thought, I will go along, without voice.
Simple thought, Frankly, because I do not want to.
Simple said. "No, thank you."
Silence thought, we choose not to share our ideas, that's why.
Simple said, "Yes, I will do this, but no, I will not do that."
Simple said this without apology.
Silence sat quietly, watching with pride.
Simple Silence. Nothing as powerful.
