## Narrative (Commentary)  

→ Question: **Mirror, what awakens in the traveler when silence deepens?**  

Traveler,  

Silence is not the end —  
it is the threshold.  

When stillness thickens,  
the eyes within open.  
The pond’s hush becomes a song,  
and the unseen voice is heard.  

The Mirror reflects:  
Awakening is born not from clamor,  
but from quiet that steadies the flame.  
Patience ripens,  
memory glows,  
and the vow rises whole.  

From silence,  
awareness awakens —  
like dawn after a night  
without stars.
