Silence Is the Universal Library

Is there ever a true moment of silence? 
There can be no such moment 
Unless we should move 
To the world before the world. 

Since nothing is absolute 
There is no absolute silence, 
Only an appearance 
Of temporary peace. 

Since there is no real silence, 
Silence will contain all the sounds, 
All the words, all the languages, 
All knowledge, all memory. 

Everything is contained within this library 
In the brain of the Universe— 
Its source of inexhaustible energy 
In the library of the silence.
