Silence

Silence is our weak and longest word.
. . . Heard by everybody every day.
. . . Spoken everywhere.
. . . By somebody.
. . . Today.
. . .
Silence is our short and strongest word. 
. . . Understood too well. 
. . . Misunderstood. 
. . . Too often. 
. . . 
. . .
My definition varies from your dictionary's. 
. . .
. . .
. . .
Listen well. 
. . .  Silence is my strongest word. 
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
Listen well. 
. . .  Silence is my longest word. 
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
I have only that . . . to say . . . today. . .
