Cracks in the Quiet

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth


 “Even silence has a breaking point.”

The forest doesn’t hold its breath,
it lives within them,
it sends a hush before the Fall,
as geese cut through the sky.

The silence cracks wide open,
and stillness tells it all,
branches bow then splinter,
yet roots refuse to fall.

The lake reflects the fracture,
as ripples circle wide,
shadows stretch their fingers,
with nowhere left to hide.

Truth doesnt stay down, it seeks the surface to be found. By tomorrow, the cracks will spread, revealing more than silence can contain.

  1. This piece is breathtaking in its depth and imagery. 🌿✨ The way you’ve woven silence into the living rhythm of the forest, the lake, and the sky makes it feel like nature itself is carrying the weight of truth. The line “branches bow then splinter, yet roots refuse to fall” is so powerful—it speaks of resilience in the face of breaking. And your closing reflection that truth doesn’t stay down, it seeks the surface ties everything together beautifully, leaving the reader with both awe and hope. A masterful and evocative expression! 🌌
