Inspired poem

One single word, a truth to find,

Leaves greater space within the mind.

Less spoken sound, more meaning true,

A richer sense, for me and you.

Like silent stars, that shine so bright,

A few words gleam, with all their light.

So let us prune the branches of our speech,

For wisdom's depth, the simplest can reach,

One finds the real gem in the fewest lies.

When fewer words unveil the clear surprise.

The less we say, the more our truth will gleam,

A precious pearl within a silent dream.
