When Silence Speaks

When silence speaks, the noisy listens
Even the turbid sky glistens 
To lend ears to the mighty voice 
That robs the rightful of their choice 

For, when it speaks, it compels season 
To fight for reign of the right reason 
It brings more meaning than the tongue 
And vision cherished by the young

It compels favor from the mighty 
Like the solemn voice of the almighty 
For, it strikes the depth of heart 
To lend its warmness from the start 

When silence speaks, it commands conviction 
It hits the hard heart of devotion 
Like an implied common agreement 
That needs no sound and no movement
