The Power of Silence

She was powerful
For the words
She didn’t speak

If she opened
Her mouth
You knew
It would be

A rudder
Or a cleaver
A stitch
Or a glass of water

She chose
Her words well

And her silences
Even better

Applause...

I couldn't have said it better myself! I was thinking it! But trying to be the better person, haven't said it.
Oh, I'm sure you don't know the person I am speaking of personally, but then again, a weed by any other name is still a weed! Nice job, in connecting with the reader. ~ Geezer.
