Hush, my darling

It strikes me that silence is a secret language all in itself.

It can say nothing, yet speak volumes; imply consent or scream refusal.

It can be premeditated, or borne of spur-of-the-moment neglect.

It can be, by comission, an unspoken truth, or by omission, a lie untold.

It flits by before one can react, or crawls, one exponentially elongating second after the other, an agonising eternity within which to lose oneself..

A double-edged sword of the keenest intent.

*****
You say it all... when you say nothing at all
