My Humming Word

The impact of ‘Yes’ is light and free
Like a gentle breeze or an easy key
But ‘No’ is indeed a robust decree
Which is so often lost in pleasantry.

I learnt to say yes or a polite nay
With almost equal ease in my life
But I find most people around shy
With ‘no’ and prefer to be evasive.

Here is how they conduct in a spin…
A maze of words that leads nowhere
Or they tiptoe round the central core
Even craft a silence, deep and wide.

Why to mask verity with shifting gaze
Wasted in a polite and evasive haze
While a dignified grace in honest “No”
Would clear the fog and light the echo.
