Maxim from a sententious poet
recoil from a repressed crowd
a different light shining from your eyes
a glistening
a knowing without knowledge
a glint
a sparkle
tells all

The art of being believable
There are different ways to imparting your truth to others. You can convince by being sure and self-assured, by being right and self-righteous, stating what is obvious to you and make it elementary to others.
.... and then there is another way, contrasting in its subtlety, in its silence, exposing a different power. It is the inner believing, a knowing beyond knowing, and it expresses through the eyes, radiating the spark of verity, you need no words. You captivate by truth.
