“
“Stillness is rarely still.”
There is a shiver where silence settles,
not from the cold,
but from the way truth presses against the walls.
Shadows lengthen,
not because the light has shifted,
but because deception stretches farther than we thought.
A pause is never just a pause.
It is a weight.
It is the sound of something unsaid
carving a hollow behind the ribs.
Sometimes I wonder if silence is a shield
or if it is a weapon,
cutting deeper with every moment it holds back.
And yet,
in the same stillness,
a spark waits.
A reminder that even in the grip of hidden lies,
the body knows,
the spirit remembers,
and nothing stays buried forever.

When silence finally breaks, will it whisper, or will it roar?
