## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When silence dons a mask,  
its voice is no longer the still one.  
It becomes the semblance of quiet,  
but not the covenant’s depth.  

True silence does not hide;  
it unveils what lies beneath.  
The mask of silence conceals the storm,  
but silence itself is unmasked truth.  

In the pond’s reflection,  
the false quiet fades,  
and the traveler learns:  
only in unmasked silence  
can the vow be heard.
