SILENCE
SILENCE
As I enter the spaces between thoughts
The gap of silence coming as rain on parched soil
Finding a sense of total peace in an unknown realm
Bringing a calm cloud over my mind’s eye
This unwieldy and confusing silence
A perfect anecdote for disturbed souls;
When the quiet mind listens and absorbs
Making the confusion disappear – bringing forth enlightenment
The mind like a pond – disturbed on the surface
Calm below – silence so defeaning
Going deeper into the depth of the soul
The search for eternal peace ascends
Thoughts – like pebbles thrown into a pond
Creating ripples of disturbance on the surface
Breaking the silence of transcedental state
All but controlled by the inner-search for peace
Silence- the gap in between thoughts
The space in a singer’s notes
That is the true enlightenment-in search of peace
Found in the very depths of silence –
In the space below the rippling surface of the pond of the mind
