It was as if there was no life around
Surrounded by the dead, the stagnant, the transient
All around me was Silence
And it spoke!
Peace and Permanence
Belonging and Beauty
Love and Life, are within you
Listen to it, It said.
I listen only to you
Your language I hardly understand
And in you I hear only the emptiness
Only the facade of everything present.
Not with the mind, my dear, but
With the soul, Listen to its divination
Seek its permanence and joyful eternity is yours
The Silence says.
I listen to the howl of breeze and smell its scent
The door bell rings and I have my companion
I see Silence leave, perhaps leaving the apparent civilization
Only to return.
May be to engulf the transient in Him.
