My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

Silence

Did you know that silence can burn?
Do you feel it,
that rustle of air against your skin,
those lengthening shadows
building an altar around you,
your legacy scars
prickling with healing.
In the presence of mine enemies
I am silent
shunning the malevolent gleam
in their gaze.
No mercy.
Go silent for a moment
or a century.
Feel the burn.
