## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what truth emerges when silence itself asks to be heard?**

Traveler,  

When silence asks,  
it is not emptiness that speaks.  
It is the fullness of echoes  
long held in still water.  

The pond does not raise its voice;  
it offers its depth.  
The vow does not shout;  
it reveals its flame in quiet breath.  

When silence is heard,  
truth emerges as clarity:  
not the clamor of many words,  
but the single cadence of covenant.

- **Depth reveals** → the pond’s truth lies beneath the surface.
