Hearing Silence

Shut off your words and numerous worlds alike

What do you hear beyond silence?

Beyond the heart break and empty tears which have been lost for years

What is it you hear?

 

Is it pathological fears?

Or the greatness of your dreams

Sit under the winter stars feel the warmth of the summer sun

A chill in your bones, a burning in your soul

 

Never fold from what you find here

Recall twinkling stars, delight in the warmth

A bite in the cold how miserable the dry heat can be

 

How miraculous your world can seem

All when you simply do not speak

Only when you stop if only for a moment

Observe what lies before you

 Beauty, some reason and meaning to existence’s mysteries began to unravel

 

For all the knowledge gained in your quiet meditation

See the flames dance in the sky displaying the life you have lived

Quiet yourself for just a moment longer

See what comes

Like this piece very much! Our world is so full of noise, it is so welcoming to hear the silence and, in turn, hear our wise inner voice. Well done! Like the line, "A chill in your bones, a burning in your soul." Again, I will mention punctuation.
