Your Best Weapon

The silent sky
Descending around you at night
Ten trillion stars ablaze
In totally quiet light.
No time to cry
You've got to get ready to fight.
Tomorrow's another day
To claim your right.
Be like the tide,
Like the galaxies so far and wide.
They never make a sound
When they collide.
They simply push their way.
The falcon flies with no flapping
Of wings as he dives,
Unseen and unheard at all
'til it's too late by
Its unsuspecting prey.
Like the lion that lies in wait
Like a slave shows defiance
Like an assassin behind the gate
Your best weapon is silence
One pregnant pause
Gives birth to a thousand thoughts.
The shock of a quiet glare
Hits like a megawatt.
Choose well your words
But also what shouldn't be heard
Leaving them wanting more
Is much preferred.
Don't stomp around.
When you walk
Lightly tread on the ground.
Arriving there by surprise
Is more profound
You can see it in their eyes.
Be like a cloud
Moving in to completely enshroud.
The quiet is your disguise,
Unlike the loud,
You'll always seem more wise.
