Tranquil lakes run deeper

How many thoughts go unsaid
the important ones
the thoughts that mean something to the world
but are held back because of their weight

A weight so heavy
it burdens the mind
it hampers action
Like an anchor on your fishing boat

Sitting in the early AM
waiting for fish to come to the same spot they haven’t come to for hours
They will not come
unless you stir the stillness

What is it about silence
that leaves us so afraid to speak?
