Silence Like A Cancer Grows

“If you remain silent at this time, [the truth] will arise from another place…And who knows but that you have [been given this platform] for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:13–14, NIV 1984).

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more

People writing [blogs that the readers may not care]
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools, said I, you do not know

Hear my words that I might teach you
[Read my blogs] that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence.
