Essentially

Listen now
Your heart speaks
Soft whispers


Listen here
Your heart knows
Calm hints


A silence fills
Laughter and tears
Punctuate movement


A silence flows
Notice the gap
In between noise


The mind chatters
Unceasingly
Noise feels empty


The mind splinters
Mountain from molehill
Noise feeds ego


The soul sings
Music and magic
Rapture thrills


The soul plays
Wind through bamboo
Sighs in birdsong


The world twirls
Swirl of seasons
Devoid of reasons


The world seeks
Praise and plenty
Secure in empty


Time and space pun
Humour greets wit
Steer awkward fit


Time and space dance
Sorrow meets cheer
Sync with tact


Joy ever fades
Nothing much remains
Dust gathers


Joy even tempts
Offers nothing new
Dinosaur bones


Charm feeds
Empty charade
No escapade


Charm leaks
Messy tirade
Lament in loss


Words come
Echoes fling
Not much done


Words leave
Takeaway noise
Not much gain


Write in rhymes
Sign a song
Mind the glitch


Write in lines
Reason a poise
Mind the route


End game pulse
Matching
Point for point


End game tense
Cleaning up
Awkward feel
