Listen

Listening is the most
beautiful things, I have 
ever experience in my 
entire existence.
Given unto me the 
power of silent
by the silencer.

As the blackness removes
the colors from my eyes,
my intuition and instincts 
are completely replied upon
as they guide me in
the shadows of my own thoughts.

So many hidden
emotions, my thoughts
became the shadows of
my feelings and those
feelings, became 
potentates of my mind. 
Being subjected to my feelings, I was 
impotent to erect effective actions,
and inadequate to construct intellectual choices,
due to my own ignorance, desires,
fears, and anxiety that has
tortured the deepest depths 
of my inner thoughts.

Corruption, murky, desolated,
and feeble-minded all became 
acquainted with one another as
I constitutionally, allowed them
to control the authenticity
of my purely mind
been caged, suppressed, 
extorted and mocked.

Consumed in my suffering,
drowning in my guilt,
the dark spaces become 
full of dreadful chaos voices.
Wiggling like waves, 
but never makes it 
to the shores.
Buried in the deep,
hidden from the light.

Expressing the deepest 
depth of me, I found
the meaning to my suffering.
With a deep understanding,
I now accept this beauty.

The very image that was
created in the image of an 
burning bush,
flame was once buried
and now unearthed.

As that silence continues to grow,
I begin to regain inner
strength and wisdom, 
by being in a state of 
being wise of my
everyday experiences.

Germinating, growing, harvesting, 
and progressing,
my intellectual mind has been
flourishing like the
Olmecs, Mayans,
and the Nasca civilizations that
were flourishing back
in those ancient times.

Conquering all feelings
and balancing the
emotions has never
felt so refreshing and 
reviving and yet electrifying.
