Understanding goes beyond words - Michelle Liew

********************************************************

Words cut, shards of glass

But stillness heals jagged wounds--

An open ear mends. 

********************************************************

Minds meet in stillness

Truth unveiled in cracks now closed--

Some words left unsaid.

    But if some words are left unsaid, doesn't that prohibit understanding?

    Oh, this is beautifully delicate! Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words—listening can be the most powerful act of all.✨
