Silent One

Silent One Silent One rises with the solar system dawn Drawn by solace in the quiet morning Riding on the gravitational waves Through numbered stars through dark matter there Watching zeros mix, blend into the cosmic mist Numerically correct seen whole among black holes disguises Into tomorrow out there in themselves as distances On the lip, inclining on their axis, universes eclipse then passes Back at home, outside on roaming fields Look up with them to take the solar system in As it folds within a timeless bending scheme Vast sky-capes emanating mostly quiet Silent One remains intent, contemplative, waving Stays out there for hours on a lounge chair tending day Sipping tea beneath the harmless trees in shade Sits serenely by, out of sight, time slipping by Golden sun light streaming over day Seen are the red and yellow flowers Green grass peeks through abundant colors glow Moved in a gentle wind to mesmerizing horizons end Out there between the wilderness serenity and madness Night comes on, explores the greater cause Stars rain down, escapes the cosmic grip Secrets kept, only to forget them when looking to the void Lines traced in history, erased, once enjoyed Silent One stands alone between a zero to the left Two at the right numerically correct True in place, quantified, residing One and History rewind themselves, recite the story Not to worry. There is always more to tell A time fast forward quickens to the One original One will always be the Silent One and not another Fate will lead us off the silent planet Earth is temporarily our home Inevitably fading away into the silence black Like Silent One, just that
