The desire to speak is absorbed in gratitude for speechlessness, because this silence has wiped out the urge to complain about utter helplessness.

The poet captures a poignant paradox where silence becomes an unexpected grace. We often crave a voice simply to lament our helplessness and cry out in complaint, yet being struck speechless saves us from that very bitterness. In losing the power to complain, the urge to mourn our powerlessness dissolves, leaving behind a quiet and dignified peace.
