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
