Silence and or License

Silence and License may be twins by virtue of the letters that construct them;

They however, are fraternal in how they sound.

Their meanings can carry similar weight in the arena of authority when spiced with action.

The two may accelerate or retard your life in some contexts, especially in the context of projecting the strength or weakness they can carry.

When Permission invites them to a table, one has no mouth to open.

Let Caution be their host at a table, and the once mouth-less wins with ease.

Naturally or man-made their origin can be, must we be bothered?

Especially when we have the innate license to be silent anytime of our choosing?

Stress not, for everyone is an important 'peg' created to fit an important perfect hole;

For the creator makes no mistake.

With my 'Good' I express to you, add your morning, afternoon or evening to feel I have greeted you well.

I rest my PEN.
