Speak Into the Quiet
Speak into the quiet—
even when no one answers.
Let your words fall like stones into water,
not to sink,
but to widen the circle.
The world will tell you to wait
until you are certain,
until the crowd nods in agreement.
Laugh, and begin anyway.
Every syllable you risk is a seed.
Every silence you break is a bridge.
Do not beg the echo
to return in your own voice—
trust it will find another throat,
another shore.
Speak into the quiet.
It will not betray you.
It will not diminish you.
It will carry you further than you know.
And when others reply,
not in unison but in harmony,
you will know:
your voice was never alone.
