Silence

By Wael Al Sayegh

My silence whispers a reminder
That I am not what I think

My silence speaks truth
Telling me, I am born more than enough

My silence echo’s clarity
That the world we live is collectively lost

My silence shouts Reality
That just as day cannot be without night
Just as inhale cannot be without exhale
Life, cannot be, without Death.

To embrace one is to embrace the other
To deny one is to deny all.
