The Gift of Silence
Silence indelicately given
Persistently gifted time after time
Reopening the seemingly healed wounds
Waterfall of tears gushing into a space of
Numbness
Spiraling into the depths of this silent abyss
The tormenting hollow sounds achingly echoes
Emptiness
Tussling with the triumphant Silence
Wounded I accept the loss
Embracing this void
I surrender to its tranquility
As the rose’s beauty commands a tender grasp
Silence, compassionately embraced,
behold’s the elegance of its worth
offering soft whispers beckoning affection
I breathe in quiet miraculous life force
and exhale out chaos from within
An energetic silence, a transparent color
capturing the splendor of all hues
mutely connecting us all
Submerging into this mysterious space of Silence
the wall of turmoil commotion collapses
God’s meekness reverberates humbly as the air I breathe
Becoming publicly vulnerable
My wounds parade as trophies awaiting revelation
Involuntary silence had crashed in by uninvited deaths
Then intentional silence poured salt on to those wounds
days after days, turning into weeks, often months
perhaps years, year after year
silence pierces
I reflectively chew on my brokenness
seasoned by this aggressive salty silence
Your presence a Mirror of my Shadows
I see that invisible thread that floats all around
I am the shadow of that soul thread
I resist the silence and it persists
I fight the silence and it persists
Boldly facing fears within
Dancing with the pain
Spinning to a stillness
As the caterpillar spins a cocoon
Silencing all out of it space. Behold!
Breaking forth a new birth
Out comes exquisite wings and it flies!
Silence is Crowned
Bowing in Awe
I declare Yes!
United we transform
I am All and I am One
I am light and I am darkness I am the Ying and the Yang
Silence shouldering the blazing sun
burning, purifying, watering the seeds within
What appeared dark is now illuminated
My eyes were unadjusted
to the proximity of the blaring brightness
I united the eyes to a single focus
Adjusting to the brightness
Ego dissolves, I awaken, I am lit up
Awakening the omnipresence of self
Where there is God
There is Silence
Where there is Silence
There is God
