Silent Secrets

There a manner of silences;

Some calm

Others awkward.

Few remain quiet

There are those that are heavily pregnant

Particular ones bursts at the seams.

Is silence a gilted cage

Or a warm shelter from the storms?

But what are silences other a cloud of halfs?

Half truths

Half lies….

Which half is bigger?

If it remains unspoken

Is it a secret?

A truth?

A lie?

A cage?

 A shelter?

We remain quiet

We will never know.
