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
