Unfettered

It’s the silence that says
All will be well
Sans the tinkling sound
Of voices that tell

Story after story
Warped untruths
Spoken slyly so
Sure and smooth.

Pretty mouth! White teeth!
What words do you choose
To sever my trust?
In folly, you’ll lose

More than you know.
It’s not hidden but seen
Plainly to eyes untethered
By manipulated scenes.

It is the silence that says
“All is well.”
Distance is my friend and
Your chaos is dispelled.
