In Complete Silence

C-omplete silence is deafening, 
O-nce it reaches your ears; 
R-oar runs away from you, 
A-s the loud noise disappears.
Z-one of complete silence 
O-bliterates the bruit; 
N-either blare nor bluster breaks the quiet mute.

C-omplete silence of the mind
R-emains in meditation; 
I-t lets the deepest thinking
Z-ealously do the contemplation.
A-llow the stillness to show, 
L-et it make some better sense; 
D-ay twenty-four of September, 
O-pen your heart in complete silence.
