Truth

Truth, a funny thing
It has very many sides
And no matter how you try to say it
One of those always gets left behind

I wondered why I could never find
A voice that was always right
I now understand that words, however nuanced,
Cannot capture Truth, try as they might

As age tempered with experience silences
The unanswerable questions of youth
I now understand why no one says —
“Silence is the language of Truth”
