The Presence Of Silence

How good it feels to be alone. No masks to be worn. True freedom.

Inside of this maze,

Where I lay to rest.

Years formed from days,

On this tedious quest.

I stay for my safety,

Cause your light is so dark.

The sorrow I see,

A vision so stark.

 

Inside of this shell,

In sweet solitude.

I conjured heaven from hell,

To my finest mood

A bottomless pit,

A broken vase,

Harmless desolate.

Beyond human gaze.

 

I love my dear silence,

Engulf me in peace.

The absence of presence,

Forcing my sorrow to cease.

 

Who needs chemistry?

And who wants that spark?

Where there’s a spark there’s a blazing fire,

A burning wire.

Save yourself from getting burnt.

I really like the poem, i love this line: ''Inside of this shell,
In sweet solitude.
I conjured heaven from hell,
To my finest mood
A bottomless pit,
A broken vase,
Harmless desolate.
Beyond human gaze.

"I love my dear silence,
Engulf me in peace.
The absence of presence,
Forcing my sorrow to cease."

I love the sound of mystery and esoteric in this poem...as I can relate to the feeling you describe,specially the symbol of the "shell" and "sweet solitude". It`s the good condition before the light comes, before inspiration and finding the truth...In peace of vision of self, and self-reflection we can see many ways and things of the world we didnt see before...This is how we see signs and dreams...I just wonder about the last words of your poem : "Where there is a spark, there`s a blazing fire"..."Save yourself from getting burnt"..This saving I was thinking should be "attraction" of fire, because its so strong element, who attracts peoples minds for sure. And in the same time you say "Save yourself...." It`s like a warning. Is that a feeling, or has special direction?

It is that time when we realize that in order to move on we will have to submerge into the darkests parts of ourselves and transform. Things have become stagnant, inertia of indifference at risk of taking over, apathy of motion literaaly imbuing one and every action. Frustrated upon the outcome we sit down and peace of silence brings about something......
We feel embraced once more as the fire of the seeker still burns, we gather and take a new direction ready to continue to build bridges upon what I'm supposed to do and what my inner voice tells me.

Great venture!

Thankyou
