His silence echoed loudly from,
that blue and polished room.
His words came out too perfectly,
rehearsed and quietly through.
Heavily filtered thoughts appeared
In a softly spoken tongue.
His mind was such a mystery,
Darkness, unknown to all but him.
I wonder what he truly thought,
of my voice, of my ideas.
After all, it's said the quietest do
house the loudest of minds.
