Insights of Silence

Majestic is silence

Freedom from violence

Untainted by our noise

Enigmatic is poise

–

Mystery always return

A cooling balm we earn

From knowledge — searing learn

We hope a better turn

–

At peace from burdens’ know

With silence all hopes grow

Into presence, our light

But only a small bite

–

Fleeing clamour in fright

Over contending might

Our pride it disallows

Our many broken vows

–

Daubed frustrations we paint

Onto blank canvas faint

A quantum of light laid

Or a wave of sound made

–

Our pixilated life

A complicated strife

Forever flight or flight

Disconnected insight

–

Only in our darkness

Is the big picture sent

Only in our silence

Is Wisdom’s voice be-meant.
