Building on a Silence

You who have served the silence
Are now free to do what you will.
Preach fervently to the crowds if you must
But do not forget what you have learned here.
You have earned the right to music.
It is up to you to dance.
And should you dare remain silent still,
Take what is proffered
From the proffering hands.
Do not propagate the lie
With what may or may not be Truth.
Whisper if you must, let your sigh be proof
That silence can only be redeemed
By the grace of God, which cannot be seen.
Or else, allow yourself to laugh
That you might come to weep.
